The course takes you through lush plantations, parts of jungle, quaint villages and breathtaking vistas.

Phuket, known as the “Pearl of the Andaman”, has a rich history that adds a unique dimension to this marathon. The course is dotted with historical landmarks, providing runners with a glimpse into the island’s past. Whether it’s passing by ancient temples or running through streets that have witnessed centuries of stories, every step is a journey through time.

The Laguna Phuket Marathon has come a long way since its inception. It was first held in 2006 and has since grown into a bucket list Marathon experience. The event continuously innovates, incorporating themes like environmental protection, local markets and a mini-concert during and after the race. Each year’s race is a fresh and exciting experience.

What is a marathon without a memorable souvenir? The race offers participants a special keepsake in the form of a unique T-shirt and medal. Besides this every year we create different themed shirts, visors, caps and other memorabilia. These tokens serve as reminders of the incredible journey you undertook on this picturesque island.
