Good to know

Heat and humidity

As hot and humid as Singapore. Treat it like a home race: salt, fluids and an even pace.

Very early start

Check the flag-off time. Plan a sleep before the start and a breakfast you've tried before.

Getting around

Use the BTS and MRT, river boats or the Grab app. Traffic is slow, so leave extra time.

Plan your days in Bangkok

Pick your dates and how hard you want to go, and we'll lay out every day: shakeout, routes, recovery, cafés and race day. ATHLO+ doesn't sell trips for this race yet, so you register with the organiser and can pick up your kit on ATHLO+.
