The 19.8 Sports Challenge
In June2021, Together LiBeirut launched the
19.8 sport challenge to invite everyone to unite through sports and raise funds
to rebuild our city after the devastating blast of August 4th, 2020.
The idea is very simple: each participant chooses his sport and sets a target challenge around the numbers 1 9 8, inspired by the surface area of our capital Beirut.
Any sport enthusiast or believer in Lebanon can participate, regardless of age or athletic level, and join an online community and supporters from around the world.
