The event in a few words

What if you discovered the Lebanese capital differently? With Run the City, Beirut will have never charmed you so much! 😍 In September, set your sights on Lebanon, the country nicknamed "the Switzerland of the East" 🇨🇭. 

Beirut invites you on a real One Thousand and One Nights journey 🌙. Here, no monotonous route: you’ll run along the Mediterranean 🌊, cross typical streets, and feel everything that makes Beirut’s heart beat 🫀. On the agenda: an easy 10 km or full throttle depending on your mood 🤗. Whatever your level, it’s your eyes that are going to get a real treat 🤩. The capital of Lebanon was nicknamed the "pearl of the Orient" and is very cosmopolitan 🌍. So you’ll be running in a festive and friendly atmosphere, with sharing as the watchword 🙌. 

And once you’ve crossed the finish line? You put away your sneakers, grab a piping hot Lebanese coffee ☕️, sit down on a terrace, and watch Beirut keep living life in the fast lane 💨. Beirut is never short on energy! ⚡️ Go explore the city, get lost in the alleys of Gemmayzé, stroll along the Corniches and admire the sunset over Pigeon Rocks 🌅. You can also visit the National Museum of Beirut to better understand the rich history of this country 🏛️. And above all, treat yourself! Order a generous mezze, and try a kebbé or a man’ouché 🧆. Here, eating is an institution (and after 10K, you’ve earned it) 😌.

So, ready to roam the capital of the land of cedars? 🇱🇧
