The Koh Chang Tai Charity Trail, organized by Thai Trek Trail, is a significant multi-distance trail running event held on the tropical island of Koh Chang, Thailand. Scheduled for May 1–3, 2026, the race centers its operations at Wat Salakphet School in the island’s southern district. This event is designed to combine athletic challenge with charitable purposes, offering routes that traverse the island’s unique maritime rainforest and steep limestone terrain.
| Race Distance | Title | Terrain Focus | Registration Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 85 km | The Odyssey | Full island traverse | Open |
| 55 km | The Cascade | Waterfall & jungle routes | Open |
| 30 km | The Peaks | Mountain summits | Open |
| 15 km | The Gateway | Intermediate foothills | Open |
| 8 km | The Village | Community & flat trails | Open |
The geography of the event is highly technical and tropical. Koh Chang is Thailand's second-largest island, characterized by its dense jungle, sharp elevation spikes, and humid conditions. Longer distances like "The Odyssey" and "The Peaks" involve significant vertical climbing through unpaved, often slippery forest trails where humidity levels typically exceed 80%. In early May, Trat province is entering the transition phase into the monsoon season; while the forest canopy provides shade, participants can expect high temperatures averaging 32°C (90°F) and the possibility of intense tropical rain, which can rapidly change the technicality of the "Cascade" and "Peak" sections.
Logistically, the event utilizes the Softevents registration platform, supporting various digital payment methods including PromptPay and Alipay. The start and finish lines at Wat Salakphet School serve as the main event hub, located in the more tranquil southern part of the island, away from the main tourist beaches. Because Koh Chang is part of a National Marine Park, runners are expected to adhere to strict environmental protection protocols. For inquiries regarding the race course or additional activities, the organizers maintain an active presence on their official Facebook page, "Koh Chang Tai Charity Trail."
