Prachuap Khiri Khan Hosts “Run Khan Do” Event

On April 24, 2024, Mr. Somkid Chanthamaruk, Governor of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, oversaw the launch of the running event, “Run Khan Do – Run Kan Du” Track 8, at Bang Boet Temple, Sai Thong Subdistrict, Bang Saphan Noi District. Joining him were Mr. Sinathorn O-iam, Deputy Governor of the Province, Mr. Preeda Sukjai, Permanent Secretary of the Province, Mr. Nimit Wongchinda, District Chief of Bang Saphan Noi, and other district officials, department heads, and representatives from local government, private, and public sectors. The event attracted 2,536 participants.

The RUN KHAN DO initiative is a collaborative effort between Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, the Red Cross of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, and various government agencies. Its primary goals include promoting health through physical activity, fostering sports development, boosting tourism, and enhancing the region’s identity by connecting districts and neighboring provinces. Scheduled to occur eight times at the district level and once at the provincial level between February 28 and May 1, 2024, the event aims to engage communities and showcase the scenic beauty of the area.

The 8th installment of the district-level RUN KHAN DO event took place around Bang Boet Temple, Village No. 5, Sai Thong Subdistrict, Bang Saphan Noi District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, and Ban Pak Khlong, Pathio Subdistrict, Pathio District, Chumphon Province. This route, stretching along the coastline from Prachuap Khiri Khan to Chumphon, was aptly named “Running 2 Lands Visiting Prachuap – Chumphon.” The success of the event was made possible through the collaboration of government agencies, local organizations, private enterprises, and the public sector, with additional support from community groups and clubs in Bang Saphan Noi District. This collective effort aims to ensure participants’ return from the event with improved health, joyful experiences, and strengthened community bonds.
