Pattaya Marathon is one of the biggest annual sports events in Pattaya. Last year approximately 10,000 runners and walkers joined the event and this year, “The King´s Cup” marathon expects at least as many vigorous athletes from Thailand and abroad. Racers can run from 10.5km to 42.2km, a choice between a full, half and a quarter marathon, and even wheelchair races are offered. The city embraces the athletic spirit by organizing especially energetic celebrations for both the competitors and spectators during the weekend.
