Facts last checked August 25, 2026

The B-Quik Khao Yai Marathon 2027 is a full-marathon event scheduled for January 10, 2027, in Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. Runners can choose from three distances: 42.195km, 21.1km, and 10km.

The bottom line

The B-Quik Khao Yai Marathon runs near a genuinely significant natural landmark: Khao Yai National Park, Thailand's first national park, established in 1962 and now part of the UNESCO-listed Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex since 2005. Five distances from 2K to the full marathon give it the widest range of any race in this batch, suiting everyone from families to serious marathoners. Organised by Race Up Work Co., Ltd. -- the same organiser behind the Scenic Marathon series covered at Krabi, Chiang Mai and Nakhon Phanom elsewhere in this research -- giving it credible operational backing.

Racing Near Thailand's First National Park

The Khao Yai Marathon offers five distances -- 2K, 5K, 10K, 21.1K and the 42.195K full marathon -- in Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima. [1] Khao Yai National Park was established in 1962 as Thailand's first national park, declared by royal proclamation, and covers 2,166 sq km -- the country's third-largest park. [2]

A UNESCO World Heritage Forest Complex

Khao Yai became an ASEAN Heritage Park in 1984, and on 14 July 2005 was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex, together with neighbouring national parks in the Dong Phaya Yen Mountains. [2] Running in this area gives the marathon a genuinely globally significant natural backdrop, though development pressure from nearby luxury hotels and golf courses has become a real conservation concern for the park itself.

The Widest Distance Range in This Research Batch

Five distances from a 2K up to the full marathon give this race the broadest accessibility of nearly any event covered in this research -- suiting families and complete beginners alongside serious distance runners in one event. [1]

A Familiar Organiser

Race Up Work Co., Ltd. organises this race -- the same team behind the Scenic Marathon series covered at Krabi, Chiang Mai and Nakhon Phanom elsewhere in this research batch. [1] That multi-region track record gives this event genuine operational credibility even without independent Khao Yai-specific reviews yet.

Should You Run It?

If a genuinely broad-range race near one of Southeast Asia's most significant natural heritage sites appeals, the Khao Yai Marathon on 10 January 2027 is a strong pick, run by an organiser with proven experience across multiple Thai destinations.
