Event Detail
The 10th Kao Duay Dham Run for 19 Hospitals (ก้าวด้วยธรรม เพื่อ ๑๙ รพ. ครั้งที่ ๑๐) is held on Sunday 17 January 2027 at Lan Khon Mueang, the public square in front of Bangkok City Hall on Dinso Road. Funds raised support urgent medical care and equipment for 19 hospitals, particularly those serving under-resourced communities. The initiative is organised through the Somdet Phra Nyanasamvara Supreme Patriarch Foundation.
Race distances and schedule
The 2027 launch announcement confirms 5 km and 10.5 km walk/run routes through historic Rattanakosin, past landmarks in Bangkok's old city. Both routes start and finish at Lan Khon Mueang. Event activities are advertised from 05:00 Bangkok time, but exact flag-off times for each distance have not been independently announced. The calendar records a date-only start rather than guessing a gun time.
Important: ARC's structured distance selector does not offer an exact 10.5 km category, so its distance filter currently shows 5K only. This does not mean the 10.5 km route is unavailable: the organiser explicitly advertises both 5K and 10.5K. Do not interpret 10.5K as a standard 10K course.
Registration and charity entries
RUNLAH's current-edition listing shows two 5K options: THB 600 standard and THB 1,100 VIP. The difference in their entitlements and separate 10.5K prices have not been established, so no additional price has been invented. The event's July 2026 press launch provides an official event-specific LINE registration link, retained as the registration URL. Its live inventory and final payable charges are not independently inspectable and should be checked in LINE before payment.
The organisers introduced a lightweight official event shirt, but the exact contents of each paid entry package and bib pickup arrangements were not confirmed in the accessible 2027 sources. Enquiries are directed to the Kao Duay Dham Facebook page, LINE ID @Kaoduaydham, or organiser telephone numbers 098-932-0545 and 098-278-0545.
Getting to the venue
Lan Khon Mueang is on Dinso Road in Phra Nakhon district. Allow extra time for road closures, particularly before dawn. Confirm the final course, exact gathering point, race-pack pickup and flag-off schedule with the organiser.
