Samui Santa Run
About the event
Experience the magic of Koh Samui during the Samui Santa Run, an evening race that loops around picturesque Chaweng Lake. Starting and finishing at Central Samui, this festive run welcomes runners of all levels with its friendly atmosphere and scenic route. Participants are encouraged to embrace the holiday spirit by dressing up in Santa costumes or other festive outfits, adding a playful touch to the event. Costumed pets join the fun as well, with costume contests and prizes for those who stand out.
Runners will receive an event shirt and race bib upon registration, while early finishers can earn limited-edition Santa medals. The evening concludes with live music by the beach, providing a lively celebration after crossing the finish line. Organizers also contribute to local youth development through this event, as proceeds beyond expenses are donated to Samui United Football Club to support young football talent on the island.
Join in for an unforgettable night of running and community spirit under the stars at Chaweng Lake.

About Koh Samui
Learn more about the host city, Koh Samui.
Ko Samui or Koh Samui, often locally shortened to Samui, is an island off the east coast of Thailand. Geographically in the Chumphon Archipelago, it is part of Surat Thani Province, though as of 2012, Ko Samui was granted municipal status and thus is now locally self-governing. Ko Samui, with an area of 228.7 square kilometres (88.3 sq mi), is Thailand's second largest island after Phuket. In 2018, it was visited by 2.7 million tourists.
