Ultra Trail Chiang Rai Schedule

Runners can apply for the 7KM, 20KM, 38KM, 68KM, 124KM and 230 KM categories. Anyone over 18 years of age can join. The route takes you through the scenic Chiang Rai jungles, while runners on the Ultimate 220 will pass through routes passing through the legendary Doi Mae Salong mountain with an elevation of 9,500 meters, giving you lots of fresh air and picturesque nature that will have you pulsating with energy.

All races will begin and end at the Singha Park in Chiang Rai, and you’ll get to see first-hand the charming rural lifestyle and local landmarks along the way. For the fast runners, the 230 km and 124 km distances are points races for the Asia Trail Master Championship, an annual series of 32 races in 14 Asian countries.

How to get around Chiang Rai

The event organizers are providing a shuttle service from King Mengrai Monument in the Chiang Rai city center.

If you’ll be exploring Chiang Rai after the race, you’ll be glad to know that getting around downtown Chiang Rai is easy because it’s rather small and compact. The best way to visit further areas located north or south is by hiring a bicycle, motorcycle, tuk-tuk, or songthaew (the local version of taxis).

Things to do in Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai is Thailand’s northernmost province, one that is steeped in so much nature and culture. Most travelers often treat it as their last stop in the country or take a day trip from Chiang Mai to see the famous White Temple. But Chiang Rai has so much more to offer than meets the eye, so your best bet is to stick around for a few days and explore.

The mountainous area of northern Thailand has tons of waterfalls, but don’t forget to check out Khun Korn, perhaps the most majestic in the area. Walk around the night markets and get your fill of delicious, affordable local cuisine. Visit the breathtaking Choui Fong Tea Plantation, a tea farm surrounded by pineapple plantations. Get a tour of the tea factory and learn about the ancient tea-making techniques of the Thais. 

South of the Clock Tower is a 300-meter stretch of road that’s filled with bars, perfect for having some fun after sunset. Getting your boozy fix is cheap here, so you won’t break the bank when you want to knock back a few Singha beers or tequila shots.
