Course & Elevation
The Amazing Thailand Pattaya Marathon is a road race held in the beach resort city of Pattaya, Chonburi, Thailand, organised by Thailand Tri-League with Pattaya City. The 2026 race was the 33rd edition, and the event has been running since 1993. The weekend is split over two days. The 10 km and a 4.5 km run take place on the Saturday, and the marathon and half marathon on the Sunday. All races are based at Terminal21 Pattaya on Pattaya Nuea (North Pattaya) Road. The marathon is flagged off in the dark at 3:30 am and has a 7-hour cut-off, closing at 10:30 am; the half marathon starts at 5:10 am and closes at 8:40 am. Course maps for the marathon and the half marathon are published on the official website. In 2026, 21,727 runners from 58 countries registered across all distances, including 2,983 in the marathon and 7,780 in the half marathon. The 2026 edition was moved from its planned mid-July dates to 26-27 September after the city had to restart its procurement process for an organiser.
