Phuket, Thailand – April 25, 2025 – The countdown has begun! The iconic Laguna Phuket Marathon 2025 Presented by Supersports is set to return for its 19th edition on June 14–15, welcoming an international field of more than 8,000 competitors from 50 countries.

This year, the Laguna Phuket Marathon ushers in a new chapter — one that goes beyond elite racing to champion sustainability, community wellness, and local tourism. Powered by strong collaborations with the Phuket Provincial Government, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Laguna Phuket, Supersports, and partners from both the public and private sectors, the event further cements Phuket’s position as a rising force in 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 competing in both evening and morning races across Phuket's tropical landscape, promising another unforgettable running spectacle in the tropical paradise of Phuket.

This prestigious road race will be held in Phuket's beautiful Laguna Grove area, guaranteeing an excellent running experience for athletes from around the world. The three-day festival kicks off on Friday, June 13, with the lively Lifestyle Weekend Night Market, offering a vibrant blend of local crafts, food, and entertainment for runners, visitors, and the community.

The races officially begin on Saturday evening (Run Sunset), June 14, with family-friendly events including the 2K Kids Run, 5K Fun Run, and the 10K Mini Marathon. Then it’s game on early Sunday morning (Run Sunrise), June 15, with the headline races — the 21.0975K Half Marathon, the 42.195K Full Marathon, and the Marathon Relay, where teams of friends can take on the challenge together.

Race organizers have expanded the age categories for 2025, introducing new prize divisions for runners aged 70+ in both the Half Marathon and full Marathon distances, reinforcing their commitment to age-inclusive competition.

The scenic racecourse will take participants through stunning rubber plantations, pineapple fields, local villages, cultural landmarks, and along Phuket’s breathtaking beaches — all supported by top-notch medical, hydration, and safety stations throughout the course.

Beyond competition, the event maintains its commitment to community impact through fundraising initiatives supporting the Laguna Phuket Foundation and Children First Fund (CFF), providing nutritious meals to over 400 orphaned and underprivileged children across four shelters in Phuket province. Runners can contribute during registration and through onsite activities.

The marathon serves as the centerpiece of Laguna Phuket's integrated resort experience, with special accommodation packages available at Laguna Phuket’s collection of luxury resorts, offering seamless access to the race venue via complimentary shuttle and boat services.

This not only reflects Phuket's potential as a center for international sporting events but also reinforces the province's readiness in infrastructure, management, and cooperation from all sectors—government, private sector, and local communities—working together to drive Phuket toward becoming a sustainable Sports City.

This event also enhances Phuket's image as a quality tourism destination, welcoming tourists and runners from around the world year-round through activities that create economic benefits, promote health, and deliver real value to local communities. I invite everyone to experience Phuket's charm in nature, culture, and warm hospitality, and be part of this world-class running event experience together."
