Another year, another Amazing Thailand Marathon, 2025. This was my third time participating in this race.

Getting There

This time I did the right thing and took the 4:30 MRT to Sanam Chai station. There was not an inch of free space in the train. I reached there 45 mins before the gun time, but I underestimated how long it would actually take to get to the starting line. The crowd was unlike anything I had seen before; I still reached the starting line late and started right at the back.

At least there was a very nice drone show to look at on the way there.

The Race & Stats

I started at the very back and struggled throughout to get up front; eventually giving up. Because of the same reason, I did not run intervals, running at a more comfortable, steady pace.

Luckily, I still managed to comfortably below the 1 our mark, even though my right knee was seizing up.

The route was familiar, taking us past all the familiar landmarks of old Bangkok. Overall, I felt the run get over fairly quickly.
