Phuket Marathon

15 June 2008

Phuket Marathon Website
 


THE COURSE

Ever dream of running a marathon in a location that is world renowned for its natural beauty? Then the Phuket International Marathon should be your choice for 2007.

The hilly character of the Phuket landscape has presented the course designer with a challenge as finding a 42 kilometers long, flat stretch is difficult on the island. Nevertheless, organisers have come up with an attractive, flat course passing through the island’s lush vegetation and past some of Phuket’s famous beaches. Thai music bands will support the runners with typical Thai sounds along the way
