Event Date : February 22, 2026 | Chonburi Authentic Half Marathon
Training blocks have a particular kind of romance: early alarms, salt-heavy air, and the quiet satisfaction of doing something hard on purpose. Race day, by contrast, is all bright edges: numbers pinned, nerves humming, footsteps syncing into a shared rhythm.
If you’re planning your February run calendar in Chon Buri Province, and you’re also searching terms like “Pattaya Marathon 2026”, this is the nearby race to know: CHONBURI AUTHENTIC HALF MARATHON SEASON 4, scheduled for February 22, 2026.
And when the finish-line adrenaline fades, your recovery plan matters almost as much as your pacing plan.
Below: the event essentials, what to prep, and how to turn your post-race hours into something calm, coastal, and properly restorative at Cape Dara Resort Pattaya, a beachfront resort in North Pattaya overlooking private “Cape Dara Beach.”
What is CHONBURI AUTHENTIC HALF MARATHON SEASON 4 and when is it?
A: It’s a road-running event in Chon Buri Province with three distances; 21 km, 10 km, and 5 km, held on Sunday, February 22, 2026.
What should I prepare for this running event weekend?
Keep it disciplined and boring (boring wins races):
- Race-day kit: shoes you’ve already trained in, socks you trust, anti-chafe, bib belt/pins.
- Hydration & fuel: whatever you’ve trained your gut to tolerate don’t debut anything new.
- Recovery essentials: change of clothes, easy carbs, electrolytes, and something warm for post-finish cool-down.
- Timing buffer: plan around bib collection windows and any traffic near the venue.
Why stay in Pattaya for this Chon Buri running event?
Because the post-race moment deserves space: a shower that feels like a reset, a view that persuades your nervous system to downshift, and food on your schedule, not the race schedule.
Cape Dara positions that recovery on the shoreline: it’s a 5-star beachfront resort in North Pattaya overlooking private “Cape Dara Private Beach.”
And it’s built for the practical realities of runners: early breakfast, late lounging, and a spa window that catches you when your legs start negotiating.
