It will be the second year this international running event will be held in Phuket, an expansion of its previous successful editions in Bangkok. The race route starts and finishes in the impressive sports stadium at Thanyapura Phuket and winds through the Kha Phra Taew National Park and surrounding rubber plantations.
Last year’s participants included former Formula One world champion Jenson Button and Thai rock megastar Artiwara Kongmalai “Toon Bodyslam”. The race attracted 3,000 runners from all over the world – twice the number of the expected 1,500 participants.
Among local runners it was described as the best-ever race on the island of Phuket, according to Narong Thiemmek, a senior official at the Thai Health Promotion Foundation.
Thanyapura Executive Chairman Chris McCormack states, “As Asia’s leading sports training, health, and educational facility, we are delighted to host the Supersports 10-Mile Run again. We will not rest on our laurels, but will aim to raise the bar continually for staging sports events for the entire family.”
The race offers 10-mile, 5-mile, and 2-mile categories for runners of any fitness ability. Children up to age 12 may also join in the 500-metre dash.
Top three overall male and female finishers in the 10-mile category will receive prize money. For the 10-mile and 5-mile events, the top five finishers in each age group will be awarded a trophy. All runners will receive running shirts, and all finishers will be given commemorative medals.
The 10-mile run is priced at B550, 5-mile run at B500, and the 2-mile run and kids’ 500-metre dash at B450.
Supersports and Thanyapura members will receive a B50 reduction when signing up for the 10-mile and 5-mile categories.
