Run the City 2025

How about discovering the Lebanese capital in a whole new way? With Run the City, Beirut has never been so enticing! 😍 In September, set your sights on Lebanon, often called the "Switzerland of the East" 🇨🇭 because of its financial prowess. 💰

Beirut invites you on a journey straight out of the Arabian Nights 🌙. Forget monotonous routes: you'll run along the Mediterranean 🌊, through charming streets, and experience the heartbeat of Beirut 🫀. Whether you choose a leisurely 10 km or push yourself to the limit, it’s your eyes that will have the real feast 🤩. Known as the "Pearl of the Orient," this cosmopolitan city 🌍 promises a festive atmosphere, all about sharing and conviviality 🙌.

And once you've crossed the finish line? Put away your running shoes, grab a steaming Lebanese coffee ☕️, settle at a café, and watch Beirut continue its fast-paced life 💨. Energy is something Beirut has in abundance! ⚡️ Take the time to explore: lose yourself in the alleys of Gemmayze, stroll along the Corniche, and marvel at the sunset over the Pigeon Rocks 🌅. You can also visit the National Museum of Beirut to delve into the rich history of this country 🏛️. And above all, savor the local cuisine! Treat yourself to a generous mezze, and try a kibbeh or a man’oushe 🧆. Here, eating is an institution (and after running those 10 kilometers, you've earned it) 😌.

So, are you ready to explore the capital of the Land of the Cedars? 🇱🇧
