The route is designed to be fast and fluid, utilizing closed-off expressways to give you uninterrupted, panoramic views and a true sense of flying through the city's core. More than just a race, it's a celebration of sport and community spirit, where the energetic atmosphere at the start and finish lines is matched only by the serene beauty of the early morning course. This event is a must-do for any runner seeking a unique urban marathon experience that perfectly blends athletic challenge with unforgettable visual poetry. Secure your spot for a Sunday morning where Bangkok reveals its most tranquil and majestic self just for you.

About Bangkok

Scenic view of

Bangkok is the capital and largest city of Thailand. With a population of over eleven million inhabitants, Bangkok is by far Thailand's main city, with the urban sprawl comprising nearly half of Thailand's population, and the largest city on the Southeast Asian mainland. Its high-rise buildings, heavy traffic congestion, intense heat and naughty nightlife do not immediately give you a warm welcome — but don't let your first impression mislead you. It is one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities with magnificent temples and palaces, authentic canals, busy markets, opulent shopping malls and a vibrant nightlife that has something for everyone.
