This below is from the original article. Great idea. I think an unforgettable experience to enjoy the beauty of the old buildings at nighttime in whatever dress. 

 

“We will start the new year with ‘The 7th Phuket Night Run’ on Jan 9. Runners can wear anything as fancy as they want,” he added, noting the event’s appeal to people just joining for fun.

“The route will pass through the Phuket Old Town area, where runners can enjoy the beauty of old buildings during the nighttime,” Mr Montri said.

Its should say "wear anything as long as it is see through" and it will be more people participate and onlookers will line the route from start to finish????
