PHUKET: -- Those taking part in the new Muang Thai Phuket-Patong Marathon 2015 will be running through the streets of Patong on October 18.

“This is part of a four-province series of marathons,” said Kritthaput Khumboonraung of the corporate social responsibility team at Muang Thai Insurance, which is organizing the event.

“We have already held one event in Bangkok and one in Nakhon Ratchasima. After Phuket, we will hold one in Chiang Mai. This is the first year we have organized these events.”

The event comprises four runs – a full marathon (42.195km); half marathon (21km); mini marathon (10km); and a Muang Thai Smile Run (5km). The events will begin between 3am and 10am.

Winners of the full, half and mini marathons will take home 10,000 baht, while second and third place winners will receive 5,000 and 3,000 baht respectively.

I'm probably up for the mini marathon (10K), any other members want to join? I'll buy a round of beers when we finish. A Phuket TV exercise meetup.
