Beirut Marathon Para Athlete Race

The para-athlete race gives wheelchair racers and other para-athletes a dedicated competitive category during the annual Beirut Marathon weekend, complete with a specific pre-race gathering area for chair and ankle-chip equipment checks. Racing over a course sharing infrastructure with the half marathon or 10K along the corniche, the category functions as both a community event and a genuine competitive proving ground.

The para-athlete race is one of six categories run during the annual Beirut Marathon weekend, giving wheelchair racers and other para-athletes a dedicated competitive category rather than folding them into the standard running fields, a structure the Beirut Marathon Association has maintained since expanding the event's categories in the years following its 2003 founding.
