PEA Chiangmai Mini Marathon 2026 - EMPOWER RUN

PEA Chiangmai Mini Marathon 2026: EMPOWER RUN takes place at Huay Tueng Thao Reservoir, Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai, on Sunday 15 November 2026. The northern Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) running club hosts this lakeside community event as part of PEA's broader annual mini-marathon programme. The local organiser calls the Chiang Mai race the 14th edition; PEA's nationwide announcement uses 15th for its 2026 series. Both labels refer to this November 2026 Chiang Mai race, not separate events. PEA's own 4 October 2026 announcement independently confirms the venue and date.

Race-day timetable (Thailand time)

• 04:30: Venue opens, followed by warm-up activities.

The races are advertised as 10 km Mini Marathon and 5 km Fun Run. Official organiser-derived route plans show both routes around the Huay Tueng Thao area, with five water service points and four car-parking locations marked on organiser maps. The 10K and 5K routes start and finish in the same general venue area. No independently confirmed 2026 cut-off times are published; verify the final race-day route and assembly point with the organiser. The map pin is an approximate location in the reservoir recreation area, not a surveyed start mat.

Entries and registration

Regular advertised fees are THB 500 for the 10K and THB 450 for the 5K. The organiser-sourced race information reviewed on 27 October 2026 marks registrations CLOSED, with 30 September 2026 shown as the closing date. An earlier local promotional announcement gave 31 August as the end of regular entry sales; the dates may reflect a subsequent extension, so do not assume places are still available. Overall participation is capped at 1,000 runners. The standard race package includes an event shirt, bib and a medal for runners who finish. Organisers have previously cautioned that after payment is confirmed, runners cannot change their event distance.

Bib pickup at TWO different locations

• Friday 13 November, 08:30–17:30: Provincial Electricity Authority Region 1 (Northern), Chiang Mai office.
• Saturday 14 November, 08:30–17:30: Krua Lung Phan / Khao Soi Pa Khaek restaurant near the Huay Tueng Thao running ground.

The separate daily sessions do not imply overnight bib pickup. Bring original identification; an authorised representative should bring the participant's ID copy and evidence of authority. No race-day bib pickup has been confirmed. Keep the bib unfolded and visibly pinned to the front of your shirt: concealed or improperly displayed bibs can affect race eligibility and results.

Prizes, charity and facilities

The organiser advertises THB 2,000 overall awards for the leading men and women in the 10K, with additional age-category payments of THB 500 / 400 / 300 for first, second and third. There are employee divisions, five fancy-dress awards and a souvenir for the first 50 male and 50 female 10K finishers. The 5K is a recreational fun run. All runners finishing the course are promised a medal. Entry proceeds after expenses are directed to charity.

Source checks: PEA's official 4 October 2026 announcement confirming the Chiang Mai race date; organiser's dedicated Chiang Mai race website; organiser-derived timetable, bib collection and category details checked 19 October; 2026 event-specific registration and fee listing. PEA's race microsite may occasionally present a security challenge. Always verify any late postponement or collection update directly with the local organiser.
