Sunday, November 9, 2025, the ATCL fires up the engine in the Bay of Jounieh: swim out, run back, stopwatch slung over the shoulder. Short briefing, long effort, finish line at home.
The Automobile and Touring Club of Lebanon (ATCL) sets the clock straight this Sunday, November 9, with the 7th edition of its aquathlon (swimming + running), held under the supervision of the Lebanese Triathlon Federation. Precise start at 7:00 a.m. from the ATCL beach in Kaslik; awards ceremony announced for 10:00 a.m. at the club’s headquarters.
“Bay Out-and-Back” Format
A simple, punchy menu: 3.2 km of swimming from Jounieh to Tabarja, then 11.6 km of running from Tabarja to Jounieh. A readable coastal route, a profile without artifices: heading north in crawl, heading south in strides, with the bay as judge and jury.
Categories in the Mix
The adult field is divided by age groups, for men and for women: 19–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50 and above. There’s also room for the next generation with two youth formats: 400 m swim then 2 km run for ages 12–15 and 16–18.
Tight Timing, Slick Organization
Express briefing, on-time start, streamlined logistics: the ATCL promises a zippy, cleanly organized race, with finish and podiums centralized inside the club. Media are invited to set up at daybreak by the beach to catch the splash of the start, then reposition in Jounieh for the final sprint.
A bay out-and-back that makes both engine and cadence speak: clean swim, lightning transition, razor-line strides. Three hours on the clock to wrap the sporting show and podiums — the ATCL signs a morning rendezvous tailor-made for fans of combined efforts.
