Laguna Phuket Marathon to welcome 8,000+ runners for 2018
South East Asia’s leading destination marathon, the award-winning Laguna Phuket Marathon, will take place at the Laguna Phuket resort complex on Bang Tao Beach on June 9 & 10, 2018.
Organised by leading event organiser Go Adventure Asia, Laguna Phuket Marathon has been certified by AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races) for a 13th consecutive year and remains a qualifying event for the Boston Marathon.
The event’s been voted a “Top 10 Best Marathon” in Thailand by Wingnaidee for the second year running and as the event continues to grow organisers expect to break 8,000 runners from more than 50 countries to “Run Paradise” this year.
Improvements have been made to the half marathon and marathon courses, and for the first time a new Marathon Team Relay has been introduced, whereby each team has to have four runners.
The Kids Run (2km), 5km and 10.5km start the running festival on 9th June in the late afternoon, while runners in the 21.097km (half marathon), 42.195km (marathon) and Marathon Team Relay compete on 10th June in the early morning. All races categories are timed.
Prices start from 550 baht for the 5km distance. Registrations can be made online HERE.
