About the Pattaya Marathon
Pattaya's flagship road-running weekend brings full, half, and shorter races to the Gulf of Thailand. The marathon runs on the Sunday of the two-day event.
Course
The urban coastal route uses Pattaya's major roads and beachfront sections. Bridge approaches, turnarounds, and open exposure make the course harder than its elevation suggests.
Race-day weather
September is hot and humid even before sunrise, with heavy rain possible. Conditions become tougher quickly once daylight reaches the exposed coast.
