Runners beat a trail to Chon Buri

Runners are invited to churn up Chon Buri on January 22, when the latest leg of the Columbia Trail Masters series returns to Bang Lamung.

Organised by Active Management Active (AMA), the inaugural event last year received great feedback with 400 runners competing. “With trail running you are out in nature, which is better for your joints and lungs, which get pure oxygen,” said AMA’s managing director Serge Henkens, who points to the sport’s growing popularity in the US and Europe.
Runners in all age groups have three distances to choose from: the 3kilometre fun run (no age limit), the 10km adventure run and the 21.5km half marathon.
