Khaochalak Trail Repeat #2 2027 - Six Hours to Encounter God, Chon Buri

Khaochalak Trail Repeat returns to the Khao Chalak area of Chon Buri for its second edition on Saturday 16 January 2027. Branded “Six Hours to Encounter God”, the event is a timed trail-repeat challenge rather than a conventional one-distance race: runners tackle laps of a short, steep course during a six-hour competition window.

The course and format

The official current-edition flyer specifies a 4.14km loop and 483m of elevation gain per loop. A single lap therefore involves a substantial amount of climbing relative to its distance. Runners should approach the event as a demanding hill-focused trail challenge, with repeated ascents and descents adding to their cumulative effort. The organiser advertises a six-hour challenge. Minimum lap requirements, timing and ranking rules have not yet been independently confirmed, so participants should check these with the organiser.

The venue is Khaochalak Event Park, in the Khao Chalak area of Si Racha district, Chon Buri province. Confirm directions to the actual park entrance before travelling. The map point supplied is a broad Khao Chalak area reference and is not a surveyed start-line coordinate.

Registration and preparation

The 2027 organiser poster advertises an entry fee of THB 1,299 and displays an event race-shirt design. Check directly whether the shirt is included, sizing deadlines, payment and any transaction charges. The poster provides a registration QR code and identifies the organiser's Facebook and Instagram channels; an independent, permanent direct registration URL could not be verified.

Not yet confirmed: precise flag-off and finish clock times, race-kit collection, mandatory equipment, support and water points, runner eligibility, parking and course access. The flag-off time is to be announced in local Thailand time (ICT,UTC+7). Participants should use the organiser's latest race manual for binding information.

Trail runners intending to cover multiple laps should plan for significant cumulative climbing, appropriate footwear, sufficient hydration and the possibility of variable footing. The current-edition flyer confirms the loop distance and 483m climb; detailed surface conditions and facilities are not yet verified. This is a six-hour timed event, not a single 4.14km race. Each lap is4.14km.
