ARU RUN 2027 - Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya

ARU RUN 2027 is a community road-running event organised by Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Rajabhat University in Thailand's historic former capital. On Sunday, 14 February 2027, runners can choose a competitive 10K, a 5K or a shorter 3K option. The advertised event venue is the university in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, approximately 80 km north of Bangkok. The final course map and exact starting/finishing points should be confirmed with the organiser; do not rely on an assumed route through the UNESCO-listed historical park.

Race-morning programme (Thailand time, UTC+7)

• 05:00: 10K start. The published 2-hour-30-minute limit ends at 07:30.
• 05:10: 5K start. The published 1-hour-30-minute limit ends at 06:40.
• 05:20: 3K start. The published one-hour limit ends at 06:20.

These are different race starts rather than three separate days. Runners should check their assigned bib and the organiser's final briefing for any programme updates. Bib collection dates, the specific gathering point and the route map have not yet been confirmed in the available current-edition details.

Awards and participation

The organiser advertises overall prize money for both men's and women's 10K and 5K competitions. For the 10K, the first five overall places carry prizes of THB 4,000, 3,000, 2,000, 1,500 and 1,000 respectively; for the 5K, the five overall amounts are THB 3,000, 2,000, 1,500, 1,000 and 1,000. Separate age-group trophies are advertised. An athlete receiving an overall prize cannot also claim an age-group award. No cash prizes were specified for the 3K. Age divisions and final eligibility rules are available from the organiser.

Booking information

On 4 November 2026, the official ThaiRun booking panel lists current Early Bird fees of THB 500 (Family Run 3K), THB 550 (Fun Run 5K) and THB 650 (Mini Marathon 10K) with an active application button. Campaign publicity advertises the introductory period through 6 November 2026; the live booking panel displays its tier closing timestamp as 7 November 2026 at 00:59, or earlier if full. Confirm the payable tier at booking. This is not the same as the final registration deadline, which has not been established. The event advertises a race shirt, bib and finisher medal. Entry prices may change after the introductory period; verify current categories, available places, pickup details and terms directly through the official ThaiRun registration portal before payment.
