Race Through Time in Rural Thailand
The Yara Bangkok Challenge 2007 Adventure Race, organized by Active Management Asia, is scheduled for 10 November 2007.

This four to eight hour wilderness adventure race will take teams of two through a 60+-km unmarked course of mountain-biking, running, swimming, kayaking and more.

“Nong Chok is an ideal location for this type of event,” said Serge Henkens, The Amazing Thailand Adventure Race Series Director. “It is very surprising how beautiful and interesting the countryside is at only a one-hour drive from central Bangkok. There’s a lot of fun to be had out there!”

In this race through time in rural Thailand, paddy fields, lakes, canals, temples, farmlands of eastern Bangkok and more are on the menu…

The Bangkok Challenge was introduced last year as a fun, yet challenging way to enjoy adventure racing. The race is open to anyone 16 years of age or older. Each team must consist of two athletes.

Event dates and programme details may be subject to change.
Many of the festivals and events listed on Thailand's official calendar of annual events are traditional Buddhist or folk festivals, the date of which is either determined by the Buddhist lunar calendar and waxing and waning moon. These are not staged events. The festivals reflect the rhythm of life in rural Thai villages and local traditions as observed in times past.
