Hips Running
Feb 13, 6am. Vachirabenjatas Park (Rot Fai Park)
This new run is all about having a laugh along the way, with the joke categories being "Fool Marathon" (4.2195km), "Harf Marathon" (2.10km), "Mini Hips Marathon" (1,000,000cm) or however far you want to run! If you're looking for a run you don't have to take too seriously, here's the one to sign up for.
B400. Limited to 500 participants only. Register at bit.ly/1ZZVYWo
Run With Me
Feb 14, 4:30am. Lumphini Park
Returning for its second year, this fun run focuses on bringing all the lovebirds out there together for a healthy Valentine's Day. Duos can take their pick between 3km, 10km or 20km runs to take on together. Last year even saw a marriage proposal take place on the tracks!
B800-1,400. Register at bit.ly/1Q4CJs5.
The Great Relay
Feb 20, 5am. Suan Luang Rama 9 Park
It's a lot easier to keep your feet moving with your friends there to cheer you on (or to drag you to the finish line!). So gather your gang for this brand new team running event that challenges groups of 2, 4 or 6 runners to run in a relay format. Each member of the team finishes a lap and passes on the baton to the next person until you complete the total distance.
B800-1050. Register at bit.ly/1Rp2vZ8
Run Hero Run
Feb 28, 5am. King Rama V Monument on Rachadamnoen Nok Road
Throw on your best superhero costumes and join the Batmans and Spidermans taking over this fun run that offers 3,5,10.5 and 21km distances. It's all for a good cause too—proceeds go to the Peace of Life Foundation.
B500-600. Register at bit.ly/1l5AoQs
Colour Miles for Smiles
April 9, 5pm. Lumphini Park
The international schools of Bangkok have teamed up for the third year to organize this charity fundraiser for Operation Smile, providing surgeries to children with cleft lips around the country. Like the international Color Run which took over Bangkok in November, every kilometer completed at this run will surprise runners with a different colored powder.
B800. Registration TBA, visit on.fb.me/1SjIu6C to stay updated.
