Together with Wissam, the logistics and purchasing manager of the Marathon, we have began to run the track for 07... Beirut is a hilly city but together we have been able to figure out the first 29k without any hills... that was done through trial and error...
the other day we ran up the hill in Furn el Chebek and realized that it was just not fun... then we discovered this other road, a new one that goes along the side of the river - and it is flat! so we went for it...
still no solution about the bridge at Borj Hammoud... There is a flat bridge further down the river but it was washed away by a storm and has not been repaired... maybe it will be fixed by the time we get to measure the official track... hope so... we will keep you posted...
So all you Marathon runners of 07... take hope.. there can be a new record in Beirut 07... and hopefully a new Lebanese record...
