- Where is the bib collection (Packet Pickup) located?
- It typically takes place at the Beirut Marathon Village (Train Station, Mar Mikhael) during the three days preceding the race. Check your email for specific time slots.
- What is the best way to get to the start line?
- If staying in Downtown or Hamra, walking is best as many roads are closed. Otherwise, use 'Bolt' or 'Uber' to get as close as possible before 05:30.
- Is the course flat?
- The course is mostly flat as it follows the coast, but it includes several short, sharp bridge inclines and undulating sections around the Port area.
- Are there hydration stations on the course?
- Yes, water and electrolyte stations are positioned every 2.5km to 5km, along with medical support and local entertainment troupes.
- What gear should I pack for late November?
- Mornings can be crisp (13°C) but it warms up quickly. A singlet and shorts are usually sufficient, but bring a 'throwaway' layer for the wait at the start.
- Can spectators follow the race easily?
- Yes, Martyr's Square and the Corniche are the most accessible and high-energy spots for spectators to cheer multiple times.
