About us

Hi and welcome to Bangkok Runners.

Our group started running together in June 2012 and we have been steadily growing in numbers, meetups, events and distances run.

Several of us are training for events, several have run Ultra Marathons, several are just starting out and several are cross training for other events such as Triathlons.

We are really mixed in experience, goals, age and nationalities.

What unites us?

We enjoy running, we enjoy running together and enjoy meeting up whether running, eating or drinking.

If you would like to get fitter, stay fit, lose weight, run more, run more often, make some new friends, sweat more, or are just a bit crazy you will probably enjoy yourself, and we you.

If you are thinking about running but not sure about a group, please come and join us for 2-3 runs BEFORE signing up. All the details are on meetup, and you are welcome to come and join us for a run. After a few months we delete members who don't ever run or check the meetup website, just to keep email down and to be really clear who is interested and who is just thinking about it. The meetup system counts people as "Inactive" if they haven't checked into the website at least once in three months. These are the people who then tend to get deleted. If this happens, please don't take it personally, members are always welcome to sign up again when they have the time or extra motivation too.

Run and Have Fun!

ps. Don't forget we have lots of extra information and social chat on Facebook

The 2026 Easy Peasy Benjakitti / Lumpini Park Run
Tue, Apr 28 · 6:30 AM ICT
Benjakiti Park, Ratchadaphisek Khlong Toei, 10110, Thailand, Bangkok, TH
Come enjoy a casual run to keep that cardio clean!

Easy Peasy means 2-3 loops around the Benjakitti Park (1.9km per loop, or 3km inside the Forest Park) at a pace of 6.5-8minutes/km..., veteran runners are always welcome to run at their own pace. Or sometimes we just head right into the Forest Park portion, or a mix of both. Total distance usually comes to 5km (the Big loop).

**New Lumpini Park Option for 2026**
To celebrate the new beautiful GreenMile connection, we might run to Lumpini Park across the GreenMile and back, depending on the group's mood. We'll try to keep it to 5-7KM distance all the same.

We'll wait five minutes before starting the run at 6:35am. If you arrive after that, simply run in the opposite direction to meet us.

Some drinking fountains work in Benjakitti, i emphasize some. Bring your own water if you think you'll need it (we do 5-7KM).

BY THE WAY: If you wake up and it's raining, the meetup may be postponed. Please Check the meetup chat.
You know, it's that Thai monsoon rain thing.....

ALSO: About PM2.5 pollution:
If the PM2.5 level is 100-120, I will be walking.
If the PM2.5 level is above 120, the event is automatically cancelled.

In any case, I'll always report if PM2.5 is affecting our regular run each time. I use this link as a meter https://www.iqair.com/thailand/bangkok/benjakiti-park-khlong-toei-district

Here's where we'll meet in the park. It's at the north end of the park, near the car park and park entrance. We'll be on the running track.

Full Moon Bangkok Jungle Run - May 2026 (about 10++ km) / Flower Moon
Sat, May 2 · 5:30 PM ICT
Sanphawut Pier, Sanphawut road, Bangkok, TH
"Full Moon Bangkok Jungle Run - May 2026":

This will be a medium run (about 10++ km max ... or maybe more).

Meeting time is before 17H30 at the 7/11 just before the entrance of Wat Bangna Nok at the Sanphawut Pier.

Just so we are all clear, it means, you need to be at the meeting point BEFORE 17H30. We will take the first ferry after 17h35 (7 THB).

Meeting point Location (at the 7/11):
https://goo.gl/maps/K1UUfYQ1VdB2 (https://goo.gl/maps/K1UUfYQ1VdB2)

To go there, go to BTS BANGNA STATION and Take a Moto TAXI (25 THB). Don't come by car or Taxi, as this road can be jammed at this time, and you won't make it on time. Alternatively, you could run but with the traffic, it's not really nice.

Just before the pier, about 100m, there is a 7/11. We meet there.

Just in case, here is my number: 086 008 5788 (Line/WhatsApp)

The pace will be slow but running pace, 6:30 to 7:30 min/km, I don't want to lose any runners ... it affects my ratings :-).

• Distance: about 10 km ++ ... and we will finish at same starting Pier (Wat Bangna Nok)

• Pace: Slow (from 06:30 min/km to 07:30 min/km) . You can run faster, but don't call me if you get lost!

• Atmosphere: Social

• We might have a dinner/drinks after the run.

For those who sweat a lot like me, I suggest you take a t-shirt to change, as the humidity level can be high.

Hope you will enjoy this run and see you there ... before 17h30 :-)

Gonzague.

You would need:

• a headlamp or flashlight

• water, as the shop will be closing :-)

• not being scared of ghosts

• a mobile phone ... just in case, we lose you!
