We are looking forward to welcoming all runners to the 15th edition of BLOM BANK BEIRUT MARATHON this Nov 12, 2017.

This year is about celebrating with everyone who makes the marathon happen from Runners, Volunteers, NGOs, Media, Internationals, cheerers, Officials, partner supporters, the team, and our new Asian Premier Marathons family! 

Our slogan reads: 15 Years of Running, an affirmation to create a better tomorrow for our country through a healthier better version of ourselves.

Here are few things you need to know about this year's BLOM BANK BEIRUT MARATHON:

1. THE COURSE:
You're in for a treat. We have been working very hard to locate the perfect course for the runners and we are happy to announce that we found the best one! This year will guarantee the smoothest, flattest, easiest and most cheerful course to date.

2. THE CAUSE
With 155 NGOs to choose from, you can now easily dedicate your run to a cause by selecting the charity of your choice on our online registration platform. 25% of the race registration fees go straight to support the NGO's mission and objectives. Last year an amount close to 150,000$ was donated to charities through registration fees alone.
