Beirut Marathon Half Marathon

The half marathon covers 21.0975 kilometers, exactly half the full Beirut Marathon distance, and is open to runners 16 and older during the same annual marathon weekend. It draws heavily from Lebanon's growing amateur running-club scene, offering a serious endurance test that stays achievable for dedicated recreational runners rather than requiring full-marathon training. The route overlaps much of the marathon's corniche and city-center course.

The half marathon sits as the middle-distance option among the six race categories held during the annual Beirut Marathon weekend, covering 21.0975 kilometers, exactly half the full marathon distance, and drawing a large field of adult recreational and semi-competitive runners who want a genuine endurance challenge without committing to the training load of the full 42.195-kilometer race.
