RUN FOR LIFE

Synopsis

Ali Kedami is a 60-year-old man. A father. A painter. An ultrarunner. He stumbles across the sport well into his forties, in his quest to find answers to his daughter’s condition. He decides to run the world for her in order to deliver her a message: you can achieve anything you want as long as you have the will and the determination.

Join us in celebrating the launch of the Lebanon Mountain Trail Association’s Trail Keepers Campaign.

All proceeds will go towards The Lebanon Mountain Trail Association whose mission is to conserve, manage, promote and advocate for the Lebanon Mountain Trail.

The Lebanon Mountain Trail (LMT) is the first long distance hiking trail in Lebanon. Over 470 km in length, the trail connects communities together and crosses 76 villages and towns from Andqet in Akkar, north of Lebanon, to Marjaayoun, in the south, at altitudes ranging from 570 to 2,073 meters above sea level. The trail transects one Heritage Site (Qadisha Valley), three Nature Reserves (Horsh Ehden Nature Reserve, Tannourine Cedars Forest Nature Reserve, Al Shouf Biosphere Reserve), and several Protected and Important Bird Areas (IBAs). Since 2007, The Lebanon Mountain Trail Association (LMTA) has been working to develop and protect the LMT and to promote a socially responsible tourism that safeguards natural, cultural and historical heritage along the trailside. The LMTA programs are diverse and are geared towards improving economic opportunities of rural and often marginalized communities.
