Pattaya Marathon to start on July 15th

The Pattaya Marathon is scheduled to commence on July 15th this year, and will start and finish in front of Soi 4 on Pattaya Beach Road.

Preparations for the Marathon which is the highlight of the Pattaya Events Calendar are now being finalized including confirmation of the route and its distance which has been measured by Mr. Fung Wang Tak from the International Amateur Athletics Federation. This meeting, chaired by Chonburi Governor Pracha Taerat, discussed the final plans for the Marathon which will begin at 4 AM to avoid the warmer hours of the day.

There will be side shows to ensure this years event will be the best ever. For more information on the Pattaya Marathon call 038 253 127-30, or log on to www.pattaya-marathon.com
