Facts last checked August 25, 2026

HATYAi21 is a half-marathon race scheduled for May 9, 2027, in Hat Yai, Songkhla, Thailand. Organized by HATYAi21, the event covers a primary distance of 21.1 kilometers.

The bottom line

Hatyai21 is a focused, single-distance (21.1K) half marathon in Hat Yai -- Southern Thailand's largest city and a major regional trade and transport hub, historically popular with Malaysian and Singaporean shoppers given its proximity to the border. That focused format echoes the Luang Prabang and Vientiane half marathons covered elsewhere in this research batch. The race's own dedicated domain name (hatyai21.com) suggests a purpose-built event rather than a generic listing, though registration status wasn't yet announced at the time of this research.

A Focused Half Marathon in Southern Thailand

Hatyai21 offers a single distance: the 21.1K half marathon, in Hat Yai, Songkhla province. [1] That single-distance focus is similar to the Luang Prabang and Vientiane half marathons covered elsewhere in this research batch -- a race aimed squarely at committed half-marathon runners rather than a broad multi-distance community event.

Southern Thailand's Commercial Capital

Hat Yai is the largest city in Southern Thailand and a major regional trade, transport and commercial hub, historically drawing significant numbers of Malaysian and Singaporean visitors given its proximity to the Malaysian border. [2] That cross-border accessibility gives race weekend genuine appeal for international travellers from neighbouring countries, similar to how the Tebrau City Half Marathon covered elsewhere in this research benefits from Singapore's proximity.

A Dedicated Race Brand

The race has its own dedicated domain (hatyai21.com), organised under the HATYAi21 brand name -- suggesting a purpose-built, standalone event rather than a generic listing folded into a broader series. [1]

Registration Not Yet Announced

As of this writing, registration status has not been announced. [1] Check the race's dedicated official site directly for updates as the 9 May 2027 date approaches.
