Phuket, Thailand, May 5, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / The countdown is on! The legendary Laguna Phuket Marathon 2025 presented by Supersports returns for its 19th edition on June 14 and 15, welcoming an international field of more than 8,000 athletes from 50 countries.

The Laguna Phuket Marathon is opening a new chapter this year – one that goes beyond competitive sport and promotes sustainability, the well-being of the local population, and local tourism. Thanks to close collaboration with the Phuket Provincial Government, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Laguna Phuket, Supersports, and partners from the public and private sectors, the event is solidifying Phuket's position as an emerging center for global sports tourism.

The AIMS-certified event (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races) returns with its distinctive "Run Sunset & Run Sunrise" format, offering runners the unique experience of participating in both evening and morning runs amidst the tropical landscape of Phuket. It promises another unforgettable running spectacle in the tropical paradise of Phuket.

This prestigious road race takes place in Phuket's picturesque Laguna Grove region and guarantees athletes from around the world a world-class running experience. The three-day festival kicks off on Friday, June 13th, with the vibrant Lifestyle Weekend Night Market, offering runners, visitors, and locals a colorful mix of local crafts, culinary delights, and entertainment.

The races officially begin on Saturday evening (Run Sunset), June 14, with family-friendly events such as the 2km Kids' Run, the 5km Fun Run, and the 10km Mini Marathon. Early Sunday morning (Run Sunrise), June 15, the main races get underway: the 21.0975km Half Marathon, the 42.195km Marathon, and the Marathon Relay, where teams of friends can take on the challenge together.

The race organizers have expanded the age categories for 2025 and introduced new prize categories for runners aged 70 and over in both the half marathon and marathon distances to reaffirm their commitment to an age-inclusive competition.

The scenic race route takes participants through breathtaking rubber plantations, pineapple fields, local villages, cultural landmarks and along the stunning beaches of Phuket – all supported by first-class medical care, refreshment stations and safety precautions along the entire route.

In addition to the race, the event continues its commitment to the community through fundraising activities benefiting the Laguna Phuket Foundation and the Children First Fund (CFF). These organizations provide nutritious meals to over 400 orphans and disadvantaged children in four homes in Phuket province. Runners can get involved by registering and participating in on-site activities.

The marathon is the centerpiece of the integrated resort experience at Laguna Phuket. Special accommodation packages at Laguna Phuket's luxury resorts offer convenient access to the racecourse via complimentary shuttle and boat service. Further information and booking options can be found here.
