Saturday City Run
Details
We will meet in Ari and then run through the old town to Saphan Taksin. The route is roughly as follows and is between 15-20km. There are a lot of options along the way for jumping off early if needed.
- Ari - Dusit - Anatara Throne Hall - Khao San (ish) - Grand Palace - Ong Ang Canal - Chinatown - Song Wat - street art trail all the way to the finish
(I take no responsibility for any sights missed along the way because I get lost/distracted/confused.)
There is also an option to continue from Saphan Taksin up to Lumpini park if anyone is interested.
Pace: not fast! (This is a time on feet run for me, not a tempo 😂) Probably between 6:30 & 7:30/km with walking breaks and stops for coffee/snacks as needed. Obviously if there's a group of speedier people who want to trot on ahead, that's fine, you'll just be responsible for your own navigation.
Meet at 6.30am so people getting the BTS have plenty of time.
As we are in AQI season I will check the forecast on Friday. If it's going to be really grim I'll cancel, so keep an eye on this and the BKK Runner's Facebook group.
