3rd Mad Hatter run in Chaweng, Sunday 16th October 2016

3rd Mad Hatter run in Chaweng, Sunday 16th October 2016

The 3rd Mad Hatter run in Fisherman's Village has been postponed to Sunday 27th November due to the passing away of HM King Bhumibol Adulydej

The 3rd Mad Hatter run in Chaweng, Sunday 16th October 2016 will take place, organised by the four Starwood Hotels on Koh Samui, W Retreat, Vana Belle, Le Meridien and Sheraton.

It's great to see this event entering it's third year. The last two editions I participated in and it looks like I will be able to join this year's edition as well, despite the fact that I will participate in another race on the same day, the Full Moon Marathon on Koh Phangan, and I intend to run the full marathon there, with a 6pm start and 6 hours cut off time, which will be a challenge, considering the hilly route.

3rd Mad Hatter run in Chaweng, Sunday 16th October 2016

This will be the first time that I will participate in two races on the same day, I have run races back to back, on Saturday a race, followed by a race on a Sunday, so this will be a new challenge.

Start and finish for the 3rd Mad Hatter run Running Route;

Starting / Finishing Point : The Wharf Samui (beach road, walking street area)

2 KM race will run through Fisherman Village to Bang Rak road and will have a turning point in front of Bakubung

5 KM race will have the turning point in front of Baan Dalah Resort

10 KM race : same routing as 5 KM, the runners are to run straight on and will reach the turn around point in front of Big Buddha Temple

As each year is the case, this will be a charity event and this year all revenues after expenses will be given to Tessaban 1 Wat Lamai school to support the construction cost of a new building there. 

Am looking forward to the event and hope to see many runners on Sunday morning, 16th October at this 'Run to Give'.
