Laguna Phuket Marathon 2026 will be the 20th anniversary of the popular event - a milestone that highlights two decades of passion, performance, and community spirit.
Laguna Phuket Marathon has grown into one of Asia’s most iconic destination marathons, attracting thousands of runners from across the globe. The 2026 anniversary edition promises to be the most memorable yet, offering sponsors a unique opportunity to align with a world-class sporting event that embodies endurance, diversity, and international appeal.
Laguna Phuket Marathon has built its reputation on more than fast times and scenic routes. It is known for its impeccable organisation, inclusive atmosphere, and commitment to sustainability. Runners of all levels — from elite athletes chasing personal bests to families enjoying fun runs — come together to share in the experience. The event has also become a platform for charitable initiatives, supporting local causes and reinforcing the marathon’s role as a positive force in the community.
Laguna Phuket Marathon is certified by the IAAF AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races) and is also one of the races that is included in the qualification for the famous Boston Marathon, further highlighting the popularity of the race amongst international participants.
Phuket itself adds a dimension few other races can offer. As Thailand’s premier island destination, it combines world-famous beaches, vibrant culture, and exceptional hospitality. Runners and supporters don’t just come for the race; they come for a full experience. From the sunrise start along Laguna’s resort complex to the tropical scenery of villages, lagoons, and coastline, the course showcases the very best of the island. Beyond the race, Phuket provides countless opportunities for leisure, business, and networking, making the marathon a centerpiece for both tourism and lifestyle.
The 20th anniversary will feature enhanced race experiences, expanded international media coverage, and special celebratory events to honor the journey from humble beginnings to global recognition.
