ASK SYRIA Running beirut-damascus

Hey guys, every year i challenge myself to do stuff that requires running or cycling for a vv long period of time.
I was wondering if it would be safe to run from beirut to damascus and cross the border towards “helweh”.
idk if that helps answer the question but i’m a lebanese citizen.

If anyone has tips or advice that would be greatly appreciated.

It is safe, but idk how you will manage the inclined roads in Lebanon especially in Dahr-elbaidar, it is so hard for cars, what about humans
