Run Thailand Updates – October 2014

Q3 of 2014 was wrapped up with a new marathon world record in Berlin and a bunch of races in Thailand. Thailand offers running events all through the year, but October is when the season really kicks off. Some weekends/Sundays are busier than others. October the 12th for instance, is probably one of the most packed race days of 2014’s Thai running calendar. A few of October’s highlights:
