Laguna Phuket Marathon 2018 returns for the 13th year with new twists. The leading destination marathon in South East Asia will be held on 9 and 10 June 2018, at the Laguna Phuket resort complex on Bang Tao Beach.

Last year, the event broke its participant record for the sixth year in a row with close to 7,000 runners across its five categories: 2km, 5km, 10.5km, Half Marathon and Full Marathon. This year, with the introduction of a new category, Laguna Phuket Marathon is ready to break another participant record as it expects to welcome over 8,000 runners from more than 50 countries.
