It's a bit late but here's to the 6th Mad Hatter or Run to Give race at the Wharf on 22nd September 2019.

The distances on offer are 2km, 5km and a 10km race. The application fee is 450.-THB. For this you get a BIB and a T-shirt. Trophies for the first 3 places in each age category. Hurry up since they're almost sold out. 

There's are also prices for wearing the best hat. Hence this race on Koh Samui is also known as the Mad hatter run.

It's always a lot fun to participate in this race. A well organized race and they have lots of tombola prices. Well worth your time and effort.

The only time I couldn't make was in 2016. As an alternative I ran the Phuket version at Bang Wad Dam.

This run is held at various cities throughout Thailand. The Marriott hotels organize it. On Koh Samui that are the 'W', 'Renaissance', 'Le Meridien', 'Sheraton', 'Ritz-Carlton' and the 'Vana Belle Resort'.

This year I'm just coming back from an injury. As a result it will be a real challenge to get a podium spot in my age category of 50-59 for the 10km race. It is only my second time that I participate in the 10km race on Koh Samui. The fist was back in 2014 during the first edition. I should run a lo faster compared to my result back than.

Looking forward to be racing again. Looking forward seeing many friendly faces at the start line of the various distances. If you see me, don't be shy and say hi!

See you at the Wharf.

Please do 'like' my Koh Samui blog Facebook page and enjoy the beaches around the island or in front of your hotel or resort and get some well deserved rest and a break. 

If you're done resting or need something else to do, there's plenty of things on offer on and around Koh Samui, you can go snorkeling or diving or take a dive course. 

You can also enjoy some of the trips I recommend, like a half day gourmet lunch and snorkeling trip at the Southern part of Koh Samui or a photography trip where you get to see the most photo genetic spots on the island or go for a drinks tasting tour if you like a tipple or two. 

You may also opt for a very special dinner experience at The Thai Experience. Behind closed doors, reservation only and a very enjoyable and well worthwhile way of spending an evening on Samui. Authentic Thai food and a great atmosphere. Can highly recommend this experience.

Contact me for more detailed information on any of the options mentioned.
