What comes to your mind first when the word “Singha” is mentioned? Did we hear beer? Yes, it’s beer! But today we are not talking about how much Singha beer you can down in one go, we are talking about the 3rd edition of The Singha Obstacle Fun Run 2014 that will be happening on Sunday, 30 November, 2014 at Singha Park, Chiang Rai, Thailand.
Trial running has become increasing popular with many runners. Perhaps it’s the adventurous running in natural surroundings that attracts them. Trail running combines the beauty of outdoor scenery of hiking with the physical challenges of running and obstacles crossing. If you love the outdoors, nature and challenges, the Singha Obstacle Fun Run is definitely for you.
The event is part of the renowned Singha Farm Festival on the Hill, 26 – 30 November 2014, a 5 day festive extravaganza with concerts, sporting events and many more activities.
