Saturday School Run 2026: Beyond Limits, Run to the Stars - Bangkok

Saturday School Run 2026: Beyond Limits, Run to the Stars is a charity running event organised by the Saturday School Foundation at Vachirabenjatas Park (Rot Fai Park), Chatuchak, Bangkok, on Saturday 23 January 2027. The campaign retains its 2026 branding even though race day is in January 2027. The event brings families, runners and education supporters together to back the foundation's extracurricular learning projects for children with limited access to opportunities.

Programme and distances

The advertised event programme runs 05:00–09:00 Thailand time, but separate 3K, 5K and 10K flag-off times have not yet been confirmed. The calendar's start time represents the beginning of the event programme, not a guaranteed gun time. All three distances are offered to adults, children aged 12 and under, and VIP entrants. The organisers have not confirmed final race cut-offs or category-specific start waves in the sources checked.

Entry packages

The current official ThaiRun registration information distinguishes four price tiers available across all three distances:

• General adult: THB 699
• General child (12 and under): THB 599
• VIP adult: THB 1,999
• VIP child (12 and under): THB 899

Standard packages advertise an event running shirt, race bib, finisher medal for eligible finishers, and post-run food and drink. VIP packages additionally advertise a themed Saturn-character doll and a surprise souvenir; adult VIP entrants are also advertised as eligible for a donation tax receipt, while child VIP entrants receive a sticker. Exact package contents and tax eligibility should be verified at checkout.

Charity and recognition

The foundation says proceeds after expenses support its education work for children in underserved areas; no fixed percentage of entry fees is publicly guaranteed in the sources reviewed. For the 10K, the organiser-derived award information advertises a special Saturn-character souvenir for the first 50 men and first 50 women. This is an awards benefit, not a monetary prize.

Getting there and race-pack collection

The race is based at Vachirabenjatas Park (Rot Fai Park), Kamphaeng Phet 3 Road, Chatuchak. A park-wide location pin is not an exact start-gate marker. The organiser-linked registration page and Saturday School Run Facebook page are the best places to check route diagrams, parking and access instructions.

The official entry page advertises a late-December registration closing window, or earlier if full; confirm its exact local cut-off before relying on it. The precise bib and shirt collection location, dates and hours remain unconfirmed. Contact the organiser's public enquiry number, +66 90 980 3272, for current arrangements and accessibility needs.
