WHY DAA
Your trip planner has run this race herself
This itinerary was not copied off the internet. I have run the Chiang Mai Marathon myself. What time to wake up, where to collect your bib, what to eat before the race, where to soak in hot springs afterwards, all personally tested.
The most tiring part of an overseas marathon is never the 42km. It is booking hotels, figuring out transport and researching logistics. This tour takes all of that off your plate so you only have one job: run, then enjoy.
Everyone in the van is a runner. Talk pace, talk gear, cheer each other on. Come alone and you will still be in good company. That is the joy of travelling with fellow runners.
ITINERARY
How the Five Days Go
The race is just one day. The other four are a proper Chiang Mai holiday.
- D1 · 18 Dec
Arrive in Chiang Mai, eat first
Airport pickup then straight into the food: local pork dishes, Bang Kang Wat artist village, coffee shops and pizza, plus a visit to Wat Umong temple. Check in and rest in the evening.
- D2 · 19 Dec
Morning shakeout run + mountain day trip
Optional easy 5km morning run to soak in the Chiang Mai running culture. Then Jing Jai Market, Mae Sa Waterfall, the jungle coaster, Mon Jam hilltop market and garden farms.
- D3 · 20 Dec
Race day!
Today is all about you. Full marathon, half or 10K, finish at your own pace. Rest and celebrate however you like after the race.
- D4 · 21 Dec
Recovery day
Optional recovery jog, browse Chiang Mai Gate market, soak your legs at San Kamphaeng hot springs in the afternoon, then visit Mae Kampong, one of the prettiest mountain villages around.
- D5 · 22 Dec
Head home
Check out, airport drop off, and fly home with your medal and a phone full of photos.
Airport transfers on D1 and D5 use a 12 seater van, day trips on D2 and D4 use a 9 seater. Driver, fuel, tolls and passenger insurance are all included.

FAQ
FAQ
I have never run a full marathon. Can I join?
Absolutely. The Chiang Mai Marathon has several race categories, so you can pick the distance that suits you. You do not need a full marathon under your belt to enjoy this trip.
Can I just run the 10K or half marathon?
Yes. 10K and 21K runners are all welcome. Simply choose your category when you register for the race. The itinerary works equally well for every distance.
My family members do not run. Can they come along?
Yes! As long as one person in your group is a registered runner, family members can join the tour. On race day they are free to explore, and on the other days everyone travels together.
Is the marathon registration fee included in the tour price?
No. You register for the marathon yourself. Register directly on the official registration page here. If the link stops working, WhatsApp us for the latest one. The tour fee covers accommodation and trip transport so you can focus on the race.

All rooms are twin sharing, with a choice of one queen bed or two single beds. A single room is available at a supplement of RM100 per person per night. If you have a roommate preference, let us know on WhatsApp. Otherwise rooms are assigned randomly, always same gender.
