Ali Wehbi

Ali Wehbi is a Lebanese extreme runner and racer, described in his English Wikipedia article as the first Lebanese and the first Arab to complete the 4 Deserts race. On 2 April 2018 he reached Naqoura at the end of a run along the 224.3 kilometre length of Lebanon that began on 31 March, and Guinness World Records recognised the fastest crossing of Lebanon on foot in 1 day 15 hours 49 minutes. He ran on World Autism Awareness Day and dedicated the run to people with autism and their families, passing landmarks including Tripoli Castle, Raouche Rock, Saida Castle and Sour Old Heritage, which were lit in blue for the occasion.
