Sangkhla Sunset Run 2026 - Sangkhlaburi, Kanchanaburi

Sangkhla Sunset Run 2026 brings three afternoon running distances to Sangkhlaburi, Kanchanaburi Province, on Saturday 7 November 2026. The border district is known for its wooded hills, traditional Mon communities, reservoir landscapes and the historic Uttamanusorn wooden bridge. The event offers a different experience from Thailand's usual pre-dawn urban races, with afternoon starts and a finish during the late-day light.

The 2026 event

The organiser's promotional announcement locates the event at Sangkhla Buri District Office. This is an afternoon event in Thailand time (UTC+7). Published listings disagree on the shorter categories’ flag-off times; entrants should obtain the final distance-specific schedule directly from the organiser. These are the advertised category lengths. In particular, the long race is described as 21 km, not an independently certified 21.0975 km half-marathon course. The organiser has not made an authoritative 2026 measured-route map or cut-off schedule available in the accessible announcements, so avoid assuming that the 2025 Mon Bridge course is unchanged.

The district is several hours by road from Kanchanaburi city and has limited local transport compared with Bangkok. Entrants travelling in should arrange accommodation and race-day transport in advance, confirm the precise race village and parking instructions, and prepare for variable terrain and warm afternoon conditions.

Entry information

The organiser announced an entry window of 10 June to 2 October 2026, or until capacity was reached. Registration should therefore be treated as closed, and runners should not expect entry on race day. A July organiser-sourced listing gives category prices of THB 1,190 for 21K, THB 890 for 11K, and THB 790 for 5K. An earlier organiser announcement quoted lower prices (THB 990, 790 and 690 respectively); the later figures are used in the structured entry cards, with that difference flagged here rather than silently mixing price versions.

Race pack, bib collection, awards and equipment: detailed current-edition arrangements have not been independently confirmed. Check the Sangkhla Sunset Run organiser's Facebook announcements, and the registration organiser Hin Sam Wan Trail, for official late updates. In particular, confirm which aid stations, clothing and medals are included before travelling. The map pin is an approximate Sangkhlaburi town location, not a surveyed coordinate for the District Office entrance.

The official registration form is no longer accepting responses.
