Want a fancy t-shirt ? Want a nice, shiny medal to prove you finished a race? Jog on suckers.
The people that organised the first unofficial Tripoli half & full marathon are now living in Khobar and want to race. There's no entry fee and there's no aid stations. But there is glory. and maybe pizza.
Want to train, race or help out ?
PM me.

Sorry, unofficial means underground. Past experience has told us that too much exposure means red tape and officialdom. We believe any one who has the self discipline to put themselves through the 12 weeks+ of training required is big enough to look both ways before crossing the road and is capable of carrying the water they will need. Anyone who fancies it can PM me, we'll organise it off line. Details of the event will not be posted publicly.
Why do we run ? Because it's what we do.

no
i reccomend you order one from Evanscycles nad bring your accessories with you
unless you already have a 200.00 hard bike box to travel with it in. i shipped my bike to jeddah and back, and it was pretty worthless afterwards. just bring your pedals, saddle, bars, and stuff that are fit specific
