The Supersports Laguna Phuket Marathon will take place from June 10 – 11 this year, hosted by the Laguna Phuket hotel and residential complex. The marathon has been internationally certified by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races and is a qualifying event for the Boston Marathon. Assistant race director Charlie Jung, from organisers GAA Events, says the revival of international tourism generally has led to an increase in the number of overseas runners taking part. “Entries are looking strong, with thousands already confirmed from across Thailand and overseas. What’s particularly encouraging this year is the return of interest from international participants. The pandemic limited international travel, and as Phuket sees a resurgence in international arrivals, we are also seeing growing interest amongst overseas runners and their families wanting to combine a run with a holiday in Phuket.” Full story: https://phuket-go.com/phuket-news/phuket-events/phuket-marathon-prepares-to-welcome-8000-runners-from-over-40-countries/ -- © Copyright Phuket GO 2023-04-13 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
