Beginning and ending inside Lumpini Park, the Run promises to be a fun and enjoyable Saturday outing for joggers and non-joggers alike. And there’s no compulsion to run – participants are welcome to complete the course at their own pace, and may simply enjoy a stroll if they so prefer. Both the 5-kilometre and 10-kilometre routes are perfect for running or walking, and the Queen’s Trophy will be awarded to the largest group participating in the run. In addition, activities are lined up for children with prizes to be won, and further prizes await participants who reach the finish line. Registration is from 7 a.m. to 7:45 a.m., and the official starting time is 8:05 am.

Participants are invited to join the run with a minimum donation of 350 Baht, representing the cost of an official Cancer Care t-shirt, or 500 Baht, representing the cost of an official Cancer Care polo shirt. The participation fee also includes a breakfast box and the chance to win prizes including accommodation vouchers for stays at Four Seasons hotels and resorts around the world.
