Hi - I have done the 10k twice and the half marathon once. The full marathon is too far for me these days - I have run a lot of marathons when I was younger.
I registered for the races when in Pattaya - just go to the City Hall on North Pattaya Road, fill in the form and pay. You get the number later at registration in the shopping centre 2 days before the start.
Its a well organised event - mostly Thai runners with some farangs and Japanese. Nice medal and tee-shirt.
All 3 courses start in from of the Central Pattaya shopping centre and head towards Sukumvit Road. The 10k returns via Soth Pattaya Road. The half goes to Jomtien.
