In the modern era, healthy lifestyles are increasingly popular, particularly running and walking for fitness. These activities range from fun runs of 3.5-5 kilometers for beginners to mini-marathons of 10.5 kilometers, which are favored by many health-conscious runners.

Today, we take this opportunity to update you on the latest creative running event formats that Index Creative Village has been developing. The company is always thinking ahead and innovating to set new trends and bring excitement to the running scene. The organizers have carefully considered the lifestyles of young people who are increasingly health-conscious, enjoy good food, and love to relax. They have brought all these elements together in a single event. Additionally, they have added a unique challenge by announcing that this running event will not only measure performance in kilometers (distance) but also introduce a fun twist by measuring results in kilograms (weight).

The Running Festival of Food, Fun, Friends, and Family: KILORUN 2018

KILORUN 2018, aptly titled "THE RUNNING FESTIVAL OF FOOD | FUN | FRIEND | FAMILY," is a unique event that combines the joy of running with the pleasure of exploring diverse culinary delights and cultural experiences. Participants embark on a journey of "วิ่ง กิน เที่ยว เรื่องเดียวกัน" (running, eating, and sightseeing), savoring the best dishes from renowned restaurants while traversing scenic routes rich in cultural and architectural heritage.

This event offers a "ครบรส" (complete) experience, immersing participants in the vibrant cultures of four cities across four countries: Bangkok (Thailand), Bali (Indonesia), Osaka (Japan), and Hanoi (Vietnam). Through this immersive journey, participants not only engage in physical activity and culinary exploration but also have the opportunity to "ร่วมเรียนรู้แลกเปลี่ยนวัฒนธรรม" (learn and exchange cultural knowledge), fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the diverse traditions of each location.

For the first city, Bangkok (Thailand), the route will start at Larn Khon Muang, Bangkok City Hall, and will loop around Rattanakosin Island. Unlike other running events, this one is held over two days, March 24-25, 2018, with two separate races: one on March 24th and another on March 25th. Each day will feature two race categories.
