This is the only race in Bangkok to be held at midnight, offering runners a unique experience of running under the fabulous atmosphere of Bangkok at night.
Each year, the race brings together people from across the globe, with last year’s run raising an incredible B4 million.
This year, the race proceeds will go to three major charities, the Chalerm Prakiat HRH Princess Sirindhorn School in Lampoon province, which supports the education of children who have lost their parents to AIDS; the Baan Gerda Children's Project, which supports HIV-infected orphans in Nongmuang, Lopburi province; and Baht for a Better Life, an Amari CSR project dedicated to offering educational opportunities for underprivileged children in Bangkok and rural areas.
The race gives competitors a choice to choose between two distances: 6k and a half marathon length of 12k, taking place on Phetchburi Road in the heart of the city.
Runners of all ages and nationalities come together for this special event. Last year, 6,000 runners came to compete.
The starting and finishing points are located at Amari Watergate. There will be police and security crew present to guard the entire race route.
Entry forms can be purchased for B500 and B1,000.
All racers will receive a complimentary Puma running shirt.
For the first time this year, 12-km runners will be measured by chip timing.
Participants who choose the entry donation of B1,000 will be entered into the grand raffle and get a chance to win accommodation vouchers from ONYX Hospitality group and a BMW car to use during the stay at the hotel, as well as many other fabulous prizes such as air tickets, accommodation and others.
