Running In Tripoli

runwalkrun

Hi there,
Are there any outdoor places to go for a run? (e.g. parks, soccer fields, etc.).
Are there any organized running events?
Thanks!
George

Yes,.. There is a place called Alfoorisya>>It's located by the Airport road. Good place. You can go to Regatta or Janzoor as well.

Alfoorisya is a good place, there is also (Juddaime) scouts camp, on the way to Azawyiha. its a forest-like, anice place with clean fresh air.

Quite good, was told ( I havn't seen it) it is right after LTT/Libyan building on shatt road (Coastal road)
Not on Airport road.

Also, you might want to run Girgarish beach, air not as fresh tho

I organised Tripoli's first marathon & half last year and we'll do it again this year. I stay out Janzour way and there are limitless routes on the roads and dirt tracks, so plenty of variety.
If you look on GoogleEarth you might see a white line stretching from Tripoli to Tunisia, that's a disused railway line, I've run long sections of it. The bits closer to town have a lot of garbage dumped, but you don't have to go far to be out in farmland.

There are two groups on facebook : (1) Run Tripoli and (2)Triatheletes and Runners Tripoli which we want to use for organising events and training.

There's always the Libyan Challenge, you're a bit late to enter this year, but 2011....
