The 4th Laguna Phuket International Marathon is scheduled for June 14, 2009 at Laguna Phuket in Thailand. Early bird registration for the five events is available through the end of March.
Known the world over for its fabulous white sand beaches and vibrant nightlife, Phuket is slowly gaining a reputation amongst serious runners for its beach marathons. Where better to endure a grueling race than in this idyllic South Asia paradise?
This will be the fourth running of the marathon. In addition to the traditional marathon, there will be a half-marathon, a 10K Run and a 2K Kids Run. Walkers can take part in the 5K Walk.
Look for summer deals at the various Phuket best hotels, as the event’s sponsor hotel will likely be full well in advance of the event.
While in Phuket, be sure to check out some of island’s many wonderful attractions and recreational activities. Spend a few days on the beach or diving the waters around the islands. Visit the waterfalls in Khao Phra Thaeo National Park. Check out Sirinat National Park or simply relax at an oceanside restaurant. And don’t forget to visit at least one of the trendy Phuket nightclubs where you might glimpse a celebrity or two enjoying their own holiday.
