Set to take place on 19–20 July 2025, the internationally accredited race is expected to draw over 50,000 runners from across the globe, marking a major milestone in Pattaya’s ongoing mission to become a leading sports tourism hub in Southeast Asia. Chaired by Mr. Krissana Boonsawat, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya, a high-level coordination meeting brought together representatives from Chonburi Province, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), and multiple agencies tasked with logistics, security, medical response, traffic management, and event promotion. The Pattaya Marathon 2025 has earned the World Athletics Road Race Label and is officially listed in the World Athletics international calendar, ensuring that the event adheres to the highest global standards for route measurement, timing systems, and safety protocols. Organizers are aiming to showcase Pattaya as a vibrant, world-class destination for both runners and spectators, while driving significant economic impact through tourism. “Everything is coming together now,” said Deputy Mayor Krissana. “We’ve planned out route closures, emergency medical coverage, and logistics to accommodate both athletes and the large influx of visitors. It’s more than a race—it’s a showcase of Pattaya’s ability to host world-class events with precision and energy.” Deputy Mayor Krissana Boonsawat, alongside Pattaya Police Chief, leads final coordination efforts as Pattaya Marathon 2025 hits the home stretch, with all systems go to welcome runners from around the world. Key highlights of the final meeting included the finalization of race routes and road closure maps, which are now available for public download, as well as the coordination of emergency medical teams stationed along the entire route. Organizers also confirmed the setup of souvenir pick-up zones and pre-race activities.
