Will you be among the 8,000 runners at the U-Tapao Ripley's Run in Thailand?

Are you a marathon addict? Does a haunted trail excite you? More than 8,000 people are expected to take part in the U-Tapao Ripley's Run. With more than 300 ghosts and zombies as hurdles, the marathon will focus on both the physical and emotional strengths of runners. Held for the first time in Thailand at the U-Tapao-Rayong-Pattaya International Airport in Sattahip, Chon Buri, the ghosts and zombies are not allowed to touch the runners, but will make it more difficult for them by coming in their way. The trail will feature a scenic route, lush forest, beautiful canal and hillside track, as well as old buildings and used aircraft hangars within the grounds of the Royal Thai Naval Air Division. 

With 7,100 runners for the 5 km run, 650 for the 10.5 km run and 250 people for the 21 km run from all over the world, there are over 70 categories of prizes based on age and distance run. Organised by the Royal Thai Naval Air Division and Ripley’s Believe It or not Museum, the registration for Thailand's first haunted trail will take place from 8 am to 12.00 pm. With three categories, the 21 km half marathon run will start at 13.30 pm followed by the 10.5 km at 2 pm and the 5 km at 2:15 pm. After the race, an awards presentation will be held at 4.30 pm and the mini zombie party will begin at 5.30 pm.
