Participants in the event, certified by the Asian Athletics Association (AAA) and International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), will have the chance to run across the famous bridge over the River Kwai.

All participants will receive a running shirt with numbered bibs, as well as a medal on completion of the event.

Pol. Gen. Sant Sarutanond, AAT president said: “The inaugural River Kwai event was a great success last year due to the large number of runners participating. The event follows all international protocols and our staff members will be there taking care of all runners.”
