Once again, we are gearing up for the largest running event in Thailand: the 8^th Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok 2025. Competing for a royal cup awarded by His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen, runners from all around the world are participating. The roster includes Eliud Kipchoge, the first Kenyan runner who completed a marathon in under 2 hours with a world record time of just one hour, 59 minutes and 49 seconds. He is accompanied by other elite runners from more than 20 countries and over 48,000 other participants from 86 countries worldwide. MBK, through the MBK Center, and Pathumwan Princess Hotel are officially sponsoring the venues for this event for the second consecutive year, aiming to promote Bangkok as a capital of running.

Mr.Wichak Praditavanij, Chief Executive Officer & President of MBK  Public Company Limited said, “MBK is immensely proud to be sponsoring the World Capital Marathon Series for the second consecutive year. MBK Center will serve as the runners’ starting point for both the full marathon event of 42.195 kilometers, as well as the half marathon event of 21.1 kilometers. In doing so, we have arranged plenty of accommodations for preparations and warm-ups ahead of the competition along with ample parking spaces for the runners, and we will also serve as the broadcast station for all the world to witness this great competition.”

Meanwhile, Pathumwan Princess Hotel is sponsoring over 300 rooms and amenities to lodge world-class runners like Eliud Kipchoge and elite runners from over 20 countries, including Kenya, Ethiopia, USA, Germany, Belgium, Norway, China and Japan. For convenience, these accommodations also include a dining room and a meeting room for the VIP guests and event organizers. Impressively, this event is receiving the gracious support of Her Majesty Queen Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana, the Queen Consort, who will arrive to prepare for her participation in the 21.1-kilometer half marathon alongside Eliud Kipchoge. She will also officiate the start of both the marathon and half marathon events. Additionally, Her Majesty will graciously pose for a photo with the executive team of MBK, a gesture of profound royal benevolence that will be deeply cherished.

MBK Centeris reputed as the best tourist destination in Bangkok, as demonstrated by the TripAdvisor’s  Travelers’ Choice Award 2025 in the “Things to do in Bangkok” category. This guarantees MBK Center as a world-class shopping mall that travelers from all over the world must visit when in Thailand. As a major landmark and global tourism hub, we aim to create wonderful experiences and impressions for Thai and foreign tourists alike, and the sponsorship of this event will also boost Thailand’s potential as a host of international running events.

MBK will gladly sponsor the venues for Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok once again next year.
