The original and largest ultraviolet run arrives in Thailand


Coming all the way from the USA, the Blacklight RunTM – the largest nighttime 5km in the world – will take place in Thailand for the very first time, right in the heart of the capital city, Bangkok, on Saturday 26th November.

Organised by one of the region’s leading sports events company, Orange Room from Singapore, the Skechers Blacklight RunTM adds fun into the run with three Blacklight RunTM Zones along the course, each with a distinct colour – green, pink, orange – where runners/ walkers are showered in Blacklight RunTM UV Neon Glow Powder that glows in the dark.

Mr. Vincent Leung, President, Skechers Southeast Asia commented, “We are delighted and honoured to bring the world’s largest nighttime 5km Blacklight RunTM to Bangkok for the first time. Skechers Blacklight RunTM is perfect for anyone who loves exercise, music and wants to enjoy an exciting nighttime run in the heart of the city. Participants will enjoy memorable moments throughout the 5km distance.”

“Blacklight RunTM originates from the USA and we’re very excited to bring this unique, world-class event to Thailand for the very first time,” said Elvin Ting, Managing Director of organisers Orange Room Pte Ltd. “The event is less about speed and more about having fun with friends and family. The course route itself will be beautiful, and the Blacklight RunTM Zones and UV Neon Glow Powder are sure to make the event memorable.”
