Mr. Chumporn Para, Director of the Communications Division at Khon Kaen University and Chairman of the Public Relations Subcommittee for the Khon Kaen Marathon 2025, is thrilled to announce the 20th anniversary of the Khon Kaen International Marathon, a landmark event that has grown from a university celebration in 2004 into a premier marathon in Northeastern Thailand. This year promises to be the most spectacular yet, with a special focus on creating unforgettable experiences for all runners-participants.
Introducing KKIM2025 Meet & Greet

It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow runners and get the latest updates on KKIM2025.
Press Conference in Bangkok
The excitement continues with the second Khon Kaen International Marathon press conference, scheduled for Thursday, November 28, 2024, from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Join us at the 25th-floor meeting room of the Chalerm Phrakiat 7th Cycle Birthday Building, Sports Authority of Thailand, Bangkok, to learn more about this year’s marathon highlights.
Why Khon Kaen Marathon Stands Out
The Khon Kaen International Marathon is renowned for its exceptional organization, from seamless registration and memorable souvenirs to international-standard running routes. Participants can expect top-notch services, including well-lit and safe paths, efficient traffic management, and ample support with restrooms, hydration stations, medical teams, and enthusiastic cheer squads. The event ensures quick and accurate race results, with prompt award ceremonies and delicious, fresh food offerings.
A Festival of Food and Fun
This year’s slogan, “Food ก็ FUN RUN ก็ม่วน” (literally translated as “Food is FUN, RUN is Joyful,”) captures the spirit of the marathon, featuring a vibrant food festival with over 100 vendors offering fresh, clean, and diverse culinary delights. The event is a feast for both the body and soul, with quality assured by the Faculty of Technology.
A Positive Impact on Khon Kaen
Mr. Chumporn Para, Director of the Communications Division, emphasizes the marathon’s significant positive impact on the local economy, tourism, and community health. The event attracts runners and tourists from across the globe, boosting local businesses and enhancing Khon Kaen’s reputation as a sports tourism destination.
“Additionally, it stimulates exercise and public health. Organizing a marathon encourages the community to pay more attention to health and exercise. Such competitions help promote a culture of exercise and sustainable health care in the community, fostering community unity. The marathon is an activity that the community can participate in and support, whether by running, volunteering, or cheering on the runners, fostering cooperation and unity among residents and local organizations.” Mr. Chumporn added.
Promoting Health and Community Unity
The marathon encourages a culture of health and exercise, fostering community unity through participation, volunteering, and support. It’s a celebration of fitness and togetherness, bringing people together in a shared pursuit of well-being.
Innovative Promotion Strategies
To stand out in a crowded marathon calendar, the PR team employs creative strategies, leveraging social media, influencers, and cutting-edge technology like AI Chatbots to engage and inform participants. The hashtag #KKIM2025 and influencer collaborations are key components of this year’s campaign, ensuring widespread excitement and engagement.
