Run Fest 2026: The Coast Comes Alive

About this event

Some events fill a venue. This one takes over a city. On Sunday, 30 August 2026, the streets of Jounieh become the playground as thousands of runners, clubs, families, and friends transform the waterfront into Lebanon's biggest running celebration. The coast comes alive.

Organized by Jounieh Run Club and Fortis Tigris Running Club, Run Fest is so much more than a 5 km run — it's a festive celebration of Lebanon's running community. Whether you're a seasoned racer or lacing up for your very first time, you belong here. Every age, every pace, every fitness level is welcome to be part of an unforgettable morning.

Expect live music, activations, entertainment, and partner experiences all wrapped in a one-of-a-kind festival atmosphere on the Jounieh waterfront. Start at Fouad Chehab Stadium as the sun rises, then feel the energy build with every step along the coast.

Registration through the app is required for all participants. By registering, you acknowledge and accept the event waiver and agree to follow the instructions of the organizing team and event marshals throughout the event.

One Community. One Run. Come be part of it.
