I'm also concerned that they are using that roundabout on Jomtien 2nd Road.

Bound to be a pile up there with runners trying to figure out who has right-of-way & whether they should just stop in the middle of it.

It might be a good spot for handing out fluids if that's the case.

Did it in 1997.

Never again.

Looking at the cost of entry & the amount of runners claimed to be 15,000 it seems it may quite a little earner.

Always found it strange why people pay so much to run a marathon when they do it for free most other days of the week.

Different from the pros who can earn large sums & are also sponsored.

I used to run mini marathons in the past, up to 10k . But running 42k in this heat must be a challenge. Anyway great fun for the runners who can afford to travel all over the world to run marathons. Good luck to them.
