Every athlete starts somewhere. Every challenge begins at POINTZERO.

POINTZERO is Lebanon's premier competitive fitness race, combining running and functional fitness challenges into one exciting competition.

Hosted at Beirut Waterfront, the inaugural edition will transform one of Beirut's landmarks into a high-energy arena where competition, community and entertainment come together.

Whether you're racing to win or simply challenging yourself to cross the finish line, every athlete begins from the same place, POINTZERO.

Two divisions — Open and Elite — each raced as teams of two: Men’s, Women’s, or Mixed. Both divisions follow the same six stations, in the same order, over the same distances — only the load changes.

• Open is built to be welcoming: lighter loads so any reasonably active person can register with a partner and complete the course.
• Elite is for competitive teams: same movements, meaningfully heavier loads.

Format: Athletes compete in teams of two. Both partners complete every stage together and can split station work however they like — with one exception: the final Sandbag Carry & Throw must be completed together as a team.

Course order: Buy-in Run → Farmer Carry → Burpee Over/Facing Object → Wall Balls → Mid-Run → Sit-Ups → Rowing → Sandbag Carry & Throw (team) → Buy-Out Run

Elite Division

The same six stations as Mass, loaded to test teams who already train competitively.

Mass Division

The same six stations as Elite, loaded to be approachable for teams who train regularly but are not elite/professional athletes.

* Mixed Team uses the Women’s Team load at every weighted station, regardless of who performs the rep.
