Pangsida Camp Trail 2026 - Sa Kaeo

Pangsida Camp Trail returns to Pang Sida National Park in Sa Kaeo province on Sunday 22 November 2026. This is the third edition and the final event in the four-race Tri Burapha trail series, which visits three provinces in eastern Thailand. The setting is part of the forest landscape known for its butterflies, waterfalls and wildlife, giving runners a distinctive national-park route rather than an ordinary city road course. The organiser is The Run (Thailand) Company Limited.

Trail routes and cut-offs

All races start and finish at the Pang Sida National Park office. The advertised 25K follows forest trails past the butterfly salt lick, then climbs towards turnaround checkpoints before descending back to the start. Organiser route notes give an actual length of approximately 24.5 km, roughly 500 metres of ascent and a six-hour limit. Its flag-off is at 05:00. The 15K shares the early trail before turning around sooner; the stated actual route is about 15.48 km with 357 metres of ascent, a 05:30 start and a four-hour limit. The advertised 5K begins at 06:00 with a two-hour limit, although the current route notes describe its actual distance as approximately 6 km. All three are official programme categories despite these measured differences.

The route notes identify water, fruit, refreshments and medical assistance at checkpoints. The longer distance includes a sustained climbing section and a return along previously covered trail; runners should follow markers, carry what they need between service points and respect restrictions on disturbing vegetation and wildlife.

Before race day

Race packs must be collected at the national park office on Saturday 21 November, 10:00–18:00, with bib, timing chip and running shirt. Bring the registration confirmation barcode or tracking number plus an ID card or passport. The organiser permits authorised collection by a representative with the relevant ID documents and confirmation. A course briefing follows from 16:00 to 17:00, and a community music and park-donation programme is listed for the evening.

Registration and official instructions

Registration is currently marked closed by the official RunLah entry portal. The listed regular fees were THB 1,500 for 25K, THB 1,200 for 15K and THB 650 for 5K. Entrants should verify any final route updates, required kit and race-pack arrangements on the current-edition registration page, especially because the published course measurements differ slightly from the category names.

Trail safety, conservation and entry terms

The organiser requires participants to stay on ribbon-marked routes, obey marshals and leave plants, wildlife and nearby farmland undisturbed. Runners must carry their own hydration between checkpoints and take rubbish only to designated disposal points. If you withdraw or become injured, notify a route marshal or guard runner so assistance can be arranged; do not attempt an unmarked shortcut through the national park.

The official regulations prohibit bib transfers, resale and participation under somebody else's entry. Registration fees are stated to be non-refundable, including for cancellation or postponement arising from events outside the organiser's control. Keep an eye on the organiser's current-edition Pangsida Camp Trail Facebook page for any changes to route access or mandatory equipment. The organiser's race information and entry conditions take precedence over this summary.
