    Lebanon celebrates Women’s History Month with numerous events that center around the empowerment and support of women.  

     

    Under the motto “DRAW YOUR PATH” and the hashtag #AnaMaaki (I’m with you), the 6th edition of Women’s Race is taking place this year on the 31st of March at the Port of Beirut.

    This race is considered an encouragement to Lebanese Women to keep moving forward and rise above all obstacles and challenges.

     

    DRAW YOUR PATH and #AnaMaaki have been trending lately on social media. The slogan symbolizes the course that any girl or woman chooses to undertake in her life. In the native language, the motto states “Your course, Your decision.” As intended, the hashtagged “AnaMaaki” has been rallying numerous supporters from the online communities and beyond.

    Along with the motto and the supporting hashtag, this campaign was activated by drawing a symbolic pink path on the cheek.

    The public response has been phenomenal. Artists, influencers, celebrities, politicians, runners, and the general public reacted by posting their photos with the pink symbolic path on their cheeks and beautiful meaningful captions with the #AnaMaaki.

    Participants from all ages and backgrounds can take part in the Beirut Marathon Women’s Race. They can choose their running course from any of the following five races:
