Call for Laguna Marathon entries
Kids have a 2-km race all to themselves.
It’s time to get those smelly old Nike and Adidas running shoes out of the depths of the closet and start getting into shape for the Laguna Phuket Marathon in just over a month’s time, on Sunday June 13.
As always, for those who reckon that a 42-km jog – roughly the distance from Phuket Town to the Sarasin Bridge at the top of the island – might just be a little too much to take on, there will be shorter races.
The marathon itself starts in darkness, at 4:30 am. At 6 am the half marathon will kick off, followed by the 10.5-km run at 6:30. The winners of these three events are expected to breast the tape between 7:10 and 7:45.
At 8 am the rather more leisurely 5-km walk begins, followed an hour later by the 2-km Kids’ Run.
To register online, go here (Internet Explorer or Safari only).
Those registered before June 4 will pay lower entry fees. Those who don’t get themselves organised by that date can still join in by registering on June 11 and 12, the two days before the event. They should go to Laguna Grove – the start/finish area – between 10 am and 5 pm on those days. Entry fees (in baht) are as follows:
