President's Word

In 2003, the Beirut Marathon was born with a mission rooted in unity and oneness. What began as a simple dream has become a movement embraced by tens of thousands, representing more than 109 nationalities across two decades.
Through wars, crises, and countless challenges, we never stopped running. Against all odds, the Beirut Marathon has grown into more than just a race, it has become a culture, a way of life, and a testament to the unbreakable spirit of Lebanon.
Today, as our country faces some of its most difficult trials, the Beirut Marathon remains a beacon of hope and resilience. It stands as proof that, even in the toughest of times, we can come together ONE HEART, ONE RACE moving forward as one people.
In this spirit, we are proud to host the Women’s Race on November 23, 2025. This race celebrates women’s strength, resilience, and role as agents of change. It embodies our values of empowerment, equality, and solidarity reminding us that when women rise, communities rise, and nations rise.
Beirut has always been a city that defies conventions, a city that insists on living, breathing, and shining no matter the weight of its struggles. This November, as Beirut calls upon us once again, let us answer with courage, with unity, and with joy. Let us fill the streets with our footsteps and our spirit, sending a message to the world: that Lebanon runs, Lebanon rises, Lebanon endures and She Runs Her Story
