Of the women, Melissa Rizk fulfilled her contract this day and arrived first with a time of 30 minutes 58 seconds.

Now that the Lebanese track and field championships are coming up in mid-July (15, 16, 17 July) and the first week of August (5, 6, 7 August), at the College Notre Dame de Jamhour stadium, Inter-Lebanon, whose athletes are vying for the top spots in the championships, will take a break from road races and focus on track events.
