CHA AM 21K BIKINI BEACH RUN 2026
Sunday 15, MAR 2026
Staer & Finish at Cha Am Beach
Cha Am, Phetchaburi
Cha-am Beach, a major seaside tourist destination in Thailand, possesses unique characteristics and offers numerous amenities due to its convenient location not far from Bangkok. Following the success of the annual “Cha-am 14K” running competition, which promoted tourism over several years, the event was renamed “Cha-am Bikini Beach Run,” adding a bikini race category. This event has been held continuously for over 10 years, in collaboration with Phetchaburi Province, Cha-am Municipality, the Western Thailand Hotel Association, the Phetchaburi Tourism Industry Council, the Phetchaburi Tourism Business Association, and the Phetchaburi Chamber of Commerce. JOG&JOY, the organizing body, has continuously developed and improved the event, later adding a half-marathon distance to make it a more international long-distance running event. Each year, various private sector sponsors support the event. This year, the organizing body has scheduled the 17th CHA AM BIKINI BEACH RUN 2026 for March 15, 2026.

3. To promote a new form of exercise for health, suitable for a seaside tourist town: a bikini beach run.
4. To encourage and support the general public to exercise for health through walking and running for fitness.

COMPETITION RULES
This is a prestigious international running event. The judges' decision is final. Runners who lack sportsmanship, such as those who falsify their age, change participants, take shortcuts, or cut across the designated route, are strictly prohibited from competing. Participants must be the correct age for their registered age group (2026 minus their year of birth) and must present a valid passport or national ID card with their date of birth and photograph before receiving awards. Runners must pass all checkpoints and display their assigned symbol. Runners must wear their bib number clearly visible on the front of their body. The committee reserves the right to withhold awards if the timing chips do not read the bib number, the bib number is folded, the participant uses another participant's bib number, the bib number is incorrectly assigned to the wrong name or age group, or any other reason that prevents the committee from determining the participant's category/age group.
