This Saturday we are heading to familiar terrain a This Saturday we are heading to familiar terrain again: good old Doi Kham. It's a nice 9km loop with a lot of variation that will please both new and experienced runners. You are of course welcome to do more than one loop if you are looking to challenge yourself. Start at 06.30am at the bottom of the stairs to Wat Prathat Doi Kham. At 9km with about 300m of elevation gain, the Doi Kham Loop is a very accessible route. There are even some fool-proof options to shorten the route even more. It is a great route for everyone, from beginners to more advanced runners, with a lot of variation along the way. Stair climbs,steep single track climbs, rolling ridge sections, technical descents, and fast double-track dirt road, it's all there! Like always, this event is completely free and informal, which means you are responsible for yourself.

Group Run Alert: The White Pagoda Loop! ​At 7.5km Group Run Alert: The White Pagoda Loop! ​At 7.5km, this is another accessible route, but don't underestimate it! ​We’ll cover most of the elevation right away climbing the stairs to the White Pagoda, before diving into the forest on some fun, technical single-track. The second half relaxes into established double-track roads. It's a fantastic route with a lot of variation and epic views (if the weather cooperates!). 🏔️☁️ ​We aim to run most of the time at a relaxed, social pace, so a basic running foundation is needed. But no stress, it's not a competition. ​⏰ 06:45 AM Meet | 07:00 AM Start 📍 Meeting Point: Wat Baan Pong (Temple downstairs) ☕️ Optional coffee nearby afterwards! ​This event is completely free, informal, and self-supported. ​Who’s in this Sunday? 😎👇 #cnxtrailrunning #cnxtrailtribe #grouprun #วิ่งเทรลเชียงใหม่ #chiangmaitrailrunning

Like always, the vibes are relaxed and stress-free, it’s absolutely not a competition, and the pace will be nice and easy.

As always, this is a completely free and informal community run, which means you are entirely responsible for your own safety, navigation, and hydration out there. 📍 The Quick Stats When: This Saturday | Start at 6:30 AM Where: Huay Jo Reservoir (Check the link in bio for all the details Distance: ~15km The Route: Head over to our website (cnxtrailrunning.info) to check out the Mae Jo Hills Forest Trail post and get a feel for the terrain!
