To ensure the event runs smoothly, preparations include stage setup, sound systems, tables and chairs, traffic controls, route signage, safety checkpoints, medical teams, and mobile restroom facilities, reported Pattaya Mail.
Deputy Mayor Krissana stressed the importance of safety and coordination.
“Athlete safety, clear traffic closures, and officer deployment are key priorities.”
He added that officials will be stationed along the route to assist both participants and road users.
The LOMA RUN On The Beach continues to grow in popularity, drawing runners of all ages and abilities. Beyond its sporting spirit, the event also helps raise awareness and support for child welfare projects in the region.
