Happening on Saturday, 28 March 2015, the inaugural Run for Love Bangkok 10km and 5km fun runs are open to all ages. The organisers? They are none other than Grade 11 and 12 students of Wells International School in Bangkok, Thailand.
United in a common passion, these young coordinators plan to donate a portion of profits from the run to the Pet Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). Full of optimism and positive vibes, these teens hope to provide the necessities to build shelters and care for unfortunate animals. On top of raising funds for these pitiful creatures and their senior trip, the run will also be used to raise funds for the group’s other various ideas and projects.
Age groups for males and females are 29 and below, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, as well as 50 and up—so the whole family, including kids, teens and grandparents can join in the fun!
At 6:00 a.m., 10km runners will flag off and 5km participants will follow suit 15 minutes later. Depending on distance, both would trace around Rama IX Park in Phrawet District, Bangkok, Thailand. Known to be the largest green space in Bangkok, the park has a beautiful botanical garden, large lake and even gardens inspired by countries around the world.
