Two Bangkok marathons clash on July 19 at multiple venues
Two separate running events will use Suan Luang RAMA IX Park, Bung Nong Bon and Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal this weekend.
How we reported this
Two distinct running events are set for July 19, 2026, in Bangkok, drawing participants to established parks and transport hubs that regularly host local fitness activities.
Venues already equipped for weekend races
The Bangkok Post International Mini Marathon 2026, also known as Run for Nurses, will offer 3km, 5km and 10km distances at Suan Luang RAMA IX Park and Bung Nong Bon. On the same day the Ultraman Hero Run 2026 first leg will provide 1.5km, 3km and 6km options at Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. Both events rely on spaces already used for regular group runs and training loops.
These locations form part of Bangkok’s network of public parks and open areas that support weekly club sessions. Lumpini Park, Benjakitti Park and the riverside track at Bang Krachao are among the sites listed for ongoing training. The infrastructure allows multiple events to run without new construction because paths and open grounds are already marked and accessible.
Regular clubs and upcoming dates fill the calendar
Local running groups meet at fixed times and places. Lumpini Running Club gathers Tuesdays and Thursdays at 18:00 in Lumpini Park. Mikkeller Running Club runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays in the Ekkamai and Lumpini areas. Sabai Run Club meets Fridays and Sundays at 20:00 in Benjakitti Park. Further ahead, the 10th Silver Run Club is listed for August 8, 2026, at Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park, and the Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok 2026 is scheduled for November 28-29, 2026, at Sanam Luang.
Registration for most races occurs through Race.co.th, ThaiRun or direct organiser pages. The pattern shows that existing park loops of 2km to 2.5km and longer riverside tracks already accommodate both short fun runs and longer training sessions without additional facilities.
Runners planning to take part on July 19 can check the runlah.com calendar for Bangkok listings and complete entry through the listed platforms. The same venues will continue to host club sessions in the weeks that follow.
