The race at a glance

Route and elevation

The most recent official Songkhla programme places the start and finish beside Tinsulanoda Stadium on Chalathat Road. Its August 2026 weekend separated the Saturday fun run from Sunday’s marathon, half marathon and mini marathon; a future edition must be checked independently.

  • The published 2026 full marathon was Sunday, August 23.
  • The start/finish description names Chalathat Road and Tinsulanoda Stadium.
  • The Saturday, August 22 fun run was a different event.

Race guide

Songkhla’s coastal event base and the completed 2026 programme

The organizer page reviewed on October 14 still presents the completed August 22–23, 2026 weekend. It assigns the full marathon to Sunday, August 23, not the first day of the festival. This is useful for understanding the event programme, but it does not confirm an August 2027 race or justify carrying the old date into a travel booking.

The named event base is the Black Patio Chairs area on Chalathat Road beside Tinsulanoda Stadium in Songkhla. Keep that specific place in your planning notes rather than using a generic city-centre destination. Once the next participant guide appears, check the entrance, bag storage and road-closure map before selecting an arrival route.

The full, half and mini marathon appeared on the same Sunday schedule. A shared event base does not establish identical start times, aid arrangements or cutoffs. When the new edition opens, compare the full-marathon registration category with the distance-specific route and timetable, particularly if a travel companion is entering a shorter race.

For now, build preparation around your current running consistency and the conditions you can actually rehearse. The older event date is not a weather forecast or a fixed deadline for a peak training block. Revisit the organizer’s next-edition announcement before calculating the final plan start, then use the current forecast and published aid plan for race-week choices.

Next edition awaiting confirmation

An exact next-edition date is not confirmed here. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for the organizer’s announcement before setting a taper or booking race-specific travel. Check that the announcement names your distance: an event weekend, registration opening or shorter race can appear before the full programme. Save your entry confirmation separately from a provisional travel plan, and compare an announced alternative if you need a fixed date. Keep the route details below in their stated edition context until the new participant guide is available.
