A fun weekend of racing in the books at the @bitco A fun weekend of racing in the books at the @bitcoin_chiangmai Trail Race by Run For Freedom. Great seeing so many familiar faces of the Chiang Mai Trail Tribe at the event, and even grabbing some podium places! 💪💚

The event itself was fun, and despite being in our backyard, there were some trail sections that I hadn't been on. For a new event, it was great overall. Great atmosphere, very nice event setup, good post-race food, and a course that was a lot of fun with a lot of variation. But there is also definitely room for improvement though. Because while fun, the course had way too many bottlenecks that really weren't fun for anyone. Still, definitely keeping an eye out for future events!

Last weekend, we set up camp at San Pa Kia for a night under the stars, and of course, the trails were calling. With Doi Luang Chiang Dao quietly keeping watch, we made our way out and back to another breathtaking peak.
​It’s moments like these that remind you just how small we are in nature’s vast playgrounds, and how lucky we are to run through them 💚

From soft forest single tracks and rolling gravel From soft forest single tracks and rolling gravel roads to those steep, technical, quad-crushing descents; Chiang Mai's trail variety is in a league of its own 🏆 
We've got trails to the north in Mae Rim, lots more options south in the Hang Dong area, and some beautiful routes to the east of the city as well. And, of course, a web of trails covering our beautiful Doi Suthep mountain ⛰️

With Children's Day and a charity road race happen With Children's Day and a charity road race happening (we got some age group podiums!), there was no group run. 
Next week we're heading up in the mountains of Chiang Dao, so not sure if there will be one closer to town. But if you would be around San Pakia over the weekend, definitely reach out! 😉

For the first group run of the year we're joining @cognitive_fitness_coach for a breathwork and mindfulness session before heading out on the trails. The route will be a 8km loop with about 300m of elevation. 
Meeting point at The Extraction Coffee at the foot of Doi Kham (Royal Flora), this is the link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iPCDFfp24NugPbNZ7

The pace will be easy, and we won't leave anyone behind. For those wanting to hike and/or jog, there's also an option to do so. See you all on Saturday!

This weekend we're heading to Wat Ban Pong in Hang This weekend we're heading to Wat Ban Pong in Hang Dong for a nice 8km run with about 350m of elevation, a good amount of which will be covered while climbing the stairs to the White Pagoda.

Meeting at 07.00am at the parking in front of Wat Ban Pong, this is the correct location on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/ErKenUshr3oYviCP9

The route has some elevation, and the route will cover everything from technical sections to some road. If the weather is our friend we will be rewarded with some amazing views along the way. If you join, make sure to bring water. As always, it is not a race, the pace will be slow and easy. 

Also, this event is completely free and informal, which means you are responsible for yourself. If you want to support this initiative, consider one of the following:
