Continuing my series, this is about my first race of 2025, in an event called Bumrungrad Race to Heal 2025. All the proceeds from this race went to charity, so I was keen on participating.

I was quite excited for this race because having done a sub-1 hour 10k before, I wanted to see if I could do it again.

I left home by grab bike at 5:00 AM. The race was in the beautiful Queen SiriKit Park at Chatuchak, Bangkok. The park has long, winding running tracks and beautiful lakes. It was a treat watching the sun rise here.

This race was comparatively small scale compared to most others I have participated in.

I was able to maintain a decent sub-6 minute pace for most of the run. Unfortunately, I forgot to start & end the run on my watch on time, so couldn’t gauge my performance immediately. However, I checked the official race records after I got home and was pleased to see that I had improved my time further.

With each passing race, I feel fitter and more confident.

I came home by MRT. Overall, a great start to running in 2025.
