Make your first strides to running a marathon at these upcoming Bangkok fun runs
Five runs with some fun twists.
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.
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.

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.

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.
