Run, eat and travel

The running series will offer everyone a chance to chow down on gastronomical challenges from some of most beloved local restaurants and a brisk sprint to see the landmarks of Bangkok, Bali, Osaka and Hanoi. The event kicks off in Bangkok on March 24.
Kriangkrai Kanjanapokin, cofounder and cochief executive officer at event organiser Index Creative Village, said: “Running continues to expand across the globe and Thailand is no exception. We decided to introduce fresh motivation by organising the Kilorun 2018. Turning the standard of running races on its head, the run is a full course of running, eating and travelling. It will kick off bright and early in Bangkok on March 24 with 2,500 runners taking part.”

The Kilorun 2018 is designed around two concepts. The KG (Kilogram) is the race that allows runners to chow down on gastronomical challenges from some of most beloved local restaurants such as KopeHya Tai Kee, LanFha, Err, San Jao Pho Sua Rad NhaYodPuk, and ChotJit, while enjoinh a journey of various distances throughout some of the city’s most scenic locations. The Bangkok course officially kicks off at 5pm and covers a loop of 2.68km.
The race proper covers 3 categories: Kid Run (2.7km), Fun Run (6km) and Mini Marathon (11km). All runners can test their limits and levels on March 25.
Kicking off bright and early at 6am for the Fun Run and Mimi Marathon and at 6.30am for the Kid Run, the event will take place at Lan Khon Muang Plaza in Bangkok and takes runners along Ratchadamnoen Avenue to Wat Phra Kaew (The Emerald Buddha Temple), The Grand Palace, Wat Pho (The Temple of the Reclining Buddha), Ministry of Defence, Giant Swing, Democracy Monument and so forth. Runners who crosses the finishing line will get special rewards. 
“AirAsia is committed to promoting tourism and sports. The company focuses on any initiatives that are a perfect blend of both," said Santisuk Klongchaiya, Thai AirAsia's director of commercial.
