The Walking Dead at the U-Tapao Ripley’s Run

The first haunted fun run at U-Tapao took place yesterday with several thousand Thai and foreign runners taking part. This wasn’t a normal run as with the help of Ripley’s the athletes had to run the gauntlet of hundreds of ghosts and zombies. The U-Tapao Ripley’s Run featured three endurance disciplines: a 21 km half marathon, a 10.5 km quarter marathon and a 5 km micro marathon. The trail featured a scenic route, lush forest, beautiful canal and hillside track, as well as old buildings and deserted aircraft hangars within the grounds of the Royal Thai Naval Air Division.
