The race features three distances—8 km, 20 km, and 31 km—welcoming everyone from families and first-time runners to experienced athletes. Set within WFFT’s natural surroundings, runners will enjoy a unique course while supporting a meaningful cause.
First launched in 2024 with over 400 participants supporting gibbon rescue, the event has gained strong interest and community support. In 2026, it is expected to grow further, driven by demand from both Thai and international runners.
More than a sporting event, it aims to raise funds for the WFFT Wildlife Hospital Project, supporting essential medical equipment for rescued animals.
WFFT provides sanctuary to over 900 rescued wild animals, many injured or abused. As rescue efforts grow, so does the need for expanded medical facilities and long-term support.
With a strong mix of local and international runners, the event offers a powerful platform for brands to engage with a purpose-driven audience.
