One of Thailand’s most popular races and a mainstay on the racing calendar for runners all over the world, Laguna Phuket Marathon (LPM) sets its eyes on attracting more than 10,000 runners from some 50 different countries when the event returns for the 14th time in June 2019.
Branded under the “Run Paradise” moniker, Laguna Phuket Marathon is known the world over for its beautiful race courses and relaxed atmosphere. Organised by sports management company Go Adventure Asia with professional timing and results by Sportstats Asia, and sanctioned by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races, LPM ensures the highest of international standards reflected in the fact that the event is an official Boston Marathon qualifying race.
Held from dawn to dusk from 7-9 June 2019, runners can compete across five distances: a 2km Kids Run, 5km Run, 10.5km Run, Half Marathon (21.097km) and Marathon (42.195km). In addition, the Marathon Relay, which sees teams of four each running 10.55km, is a great way for families, corporate teams or groups of friends to experience the uniqueness of LPM.
As well as being held in a beautiful racing destination, LPM is famous for its friendly atmosphere and it has become as much a lifestyle event as a pure racing event. The three-day event will also feature an expo for sponsors to showcase their products and services, parties and special VIP events. In previous years, the island is commonly fully booked during the event, with exciting events taking place to cater not only to runners but their families as well.
To give back to the local community, LPM has in recent years supported various local charities, including Laguna Phuket’s “Fully Booked” Mobile Learning Centre, Baan Jao Krua School project in Phang-nga Province and most recently Laguna Phuket’s Children First Fund (CFF) providing nutrition to Phuket orphanages.
