Welcome 30,000 runners Feb. 4

Recommended Posts

NOTE -- I post this not because I think there are many potential marathoners among the readers here but to alert those who may be in town that evening of the possibility of some of the expected 30,000 runners (many of whom will be from east Asian countries, I assume) may find way to the places we know so well to celebrate.

 

Excerpted from The Nation

 

Approximately 30,000 runners from all around the world are expected to join the first edition of the Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok presented by Toyota, which is set to take place on February 4, 2018.

 

The event is being organised under a five-year agreement between IRONMAN, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and Thailand Tri-League.

 

On Sunday, February 4, marathon runners will start their race at 2:30 a.m. from Rajamangala Stadium, while half-marathon and 10km participants will begin their day near the Democracy Monument at 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., respectively.

 

The event will feature a unique city-centric course that will take runners past some of Bangkok’s amazing landmarks such as the Victory Monument, King Rama V Monument, and Rama VIII Bridge before heading to the finish line at the Democracy Monument.
