Pro tips
- 01
Ride the rolling profile
With about 111 m of climbing spread across the marathon, the course rolls rather than climbs. Hold your effort steady over the rises and let the descents give a little back.

Pace for the heat
Race day in Bangkok typically reaches 26C, and the humidity makes it feel harder. Open more conservatively than you would in cool conditions and treat the first few kilometers as a warm-up.

Dark start, warm finish
The race starts pre-dawn, so the early kilometers are run in darkness and the morning heats up quickly afterwards. Expect the second half to feel warmer and plan your effort accordingly.

Landmarks and crowds
The route crosses the Rama VIII Bridge and passes the Royal Grand Palace, with the loudest support in the old city. Take the lift from the crowds, but keep your own pace, not theirs.

Stay for the food
A festive Thai food celebration follows the finish line. Stay around for it, but keep walking and cooling down for a while first rather than sitting straight down to eat.
