Event Detail
Kwai Nam Run in Love 2027 (ควายน้ำรันอินเลิฟ ครั้งที่ 3) brings the Thale Noi wetlands running community back together on Sunday, 14 February 2027. This third edition gives the established water-buffalo-themed event a Valentine's Day twist, celebrating the distinctive wildlife, lakeside scenery and communities of Phatthalung in southern Thailand.
A run inspired by Thale Noi
The advertised venue is Chaloem Phrakiat 80th Birthday Bridge, also known as Ekachai Bridge, in the Thale Noi area of Khuan Khanun district. The crossing is a well-known landmark spanning the surrounding wetlands, where visitors may encounter lotus beds, waterbirds and water buffalo. The bridge and wetlands are the setting for the gathering; a precise 2027 route map and start/finish line have not yet been confirmed, so the full 5.5 km bridge must not be assumed to be part of every course.
Organiser TSU RUNNING, linked to Thaksin University, promotes a 5 km fun run and 10 km mini marathon. The university's coverage of the 2026 second edition confirms the event's community health, sustainable tourism and local education emphasis, and explicitly announced the third edition for 14 February 2027. The 2027 official poster uses a playful buffalo-and-Valentine theme, including 5K, 10K and VIP imagery; the VIP package details have not been independently verified.
Entry and race-day planning
The 5K entry is advertised at THB 390 and the 10K at THB 490 in the current-edition event information. Runners should confirm whether their preferred distance remains available and check payment instructions directly with TSU RUNNING on Facebook. The registration closing date, flag-off times, participant age limits, race-pack collection times, included merchandise, timing method, cut-offs and awards have not been reliably announced in the material verified for this listing.
Start time is TBA. No midnight start is implied. The map marker identifies the bridge area, not a confirmed starting mat. Those travelling from outside Phatthalung should wait for the organiser's final 2027 instructions before relying on a particular departure point or bib collection schedule. Check local weather and road-access notices before race day.
