Beirut Marathon
Each year, LAU’s community members participate in the annual Beirut Marathon held every November. Throughout the year members of the LAU community passionate about running, come together to run and train. For those interested in supporting the marathon but not running in it, the university provides plenty of opportunity to get involved and share their community spirit. Each year LAU hosts a stand at the marathon offering refreshments to runners and entertainment to the crowds.
Last year, a total of 85 LAU students, faculty, staff, and alumni from both Beirut and Byblos campuses participated in the different races of the 2010 Beirut Marathon (5km, 10km, and 42 km), on November 30, 2010.
