Beirut Marathon

The Beirut Marathon is run through the Lebanese capital by the Beirut Marathon Association, with a half marathon, 10K, 2K youth race and 6K fund run on the same morning. The 2026 edition uses a new course that starts on Weygand Street at Martyrs' Square, runs out along the waterfront past Zaitunay Bay and the Four Seasons, loops through Mar Mikhael, Badaro and Bourj Hammoud to a turnaround at Dbayeh Marina, and returns through Saifi to finish at Martyrs' Square. The organizer describes the new route as flatter than before. About 63 countries were represented in the 2025 field.
