Night Race
Running Through the Night at the Amari Midnight Run
The Amari Midnight Run, which has now entered its 11th year, shows no signs of slowing down as large crowds gather each year for this great sporting extravaganza. The popularity of the Amari Midnight Run can be attributed to the enthusiasm of the organizers as well as the fun party atmosphere that prevails despite it being a serious sporting event. The added novelty of being Bangkok’s only night time long distance running event also adds extra luster.
More than 3,000 people took part in last year’s event which concluded in the month of October. Competitors had the option of either running for the 6km race or the 12 km race; the more amateur runners mostly opted for the 6 km race while the more advanced professionals took parting the grueling 12 km race. Of course some of the more daring amateur participants do take part in the 12 km race but to no avail, however as in every sporting event what matters is not to win but to take part!
Unlike the night races in London or Berlin where competitors are greeted with cool temperatures and virtually deserted city streets, Bangkok offers a whole new experience- the nights are as hot and humid as the day and the traffic does not ease up! The most striking feature of the race are the enthusiastic crowds that line the course, waving flags and cheering the competitors onward.
Many consider the Amari Midnight Race to be a season opener for the other numerous sports events that are staged in Bangkok. More than 1,000 runners took part this year and organizers expect the number to grow further in coming years. Located on the route that is taken by the participants is an excellent Bangkok Sukhumvit hotel that offers great accommodation options Bangkok hotel accommodation in this area gives you great access to the city’s entertainment and shopping hotspots as well.
