More than 5,000 runners from around the world joined last year. Organisers are positioning the race as a tourism driver, encouraging visitors to extend their stay for Pattaya's beaches, dining, shopping and nightlife, part of Thailand's growing push into participatory destination sports events.
Runners set off against the evening sky, followed by a moonlit beachfront celebration with music and entertainment under the theme "Run the wave. Own the night."
