Questions
Before you enter.
- Heat start times, and how many heats run
- How the final is decided, and its distance
- Parking and access on race day
- Entry conditions and age proof
- Refund and transfer policy
Are there cars on the circuit?
No. The circuit is closed to cars for the day. It is a lap-based running race on the racing surface.
How long is a lap?
1,280 metres. Both categories run the same distance, and it is lap-exact rather than rounded: 5.12 km over 4 laps.
Which category do I enter?
Men 18+ or Women 18+. Both run the same distance, and both are listed above with their laps.
What is a heat, and how do I reach the final?
Entries are drawn into heats of 150-200 runners. The draw is random, so a heat is not a seeding and there is nothing to qualify for in advance. 10-20 runners go through to the final on the same day. How the final is decided, and its distance, are being confirmed.
Is my time recorded?
Yes. Every runner carries a tracker, so your laps, splits and finishing time are all recorded, and the live board shows the running order while the heats are on.
How young can a runner be?
Entry is 18 and over. Under-18s are welcome at the village, the circuit side and the podium, but do not race this edition.
Is there anything for people who are not running?
The market village, the fuel market and the food trucks run through the day, and the podium ceremony is open. Coming to watch does not need a race entry.
What does an entry cost, and what is in it?
General Admission is $30 USD. It covers one start slot in heat 1, bib, t-shirt, medal ribbon and digital certificate, market village and food court access all day.
Where exactly is it?
RPM Karting Circuit, Mtein, Lebanon. The full address and a map link go up with registration.
1st Edition
No cars.Just runners.
Sunday 27 September 2026. RPM Karting Circuit, Mtein, Lebanon. General Admission, $30 USD, 150-200 runners on the grid with you.
