The Scenic Half Marathon Nakhon Phanom follows the famed Naga Way along the Mekong River in Northeastern Thailand, with the mountains of Laos visible across the water for much of the route. The course is flat and runs on paved roads as an out and back from Saeng Singkaew Pier, so runners pass the same riverside scenery on the way home. It is part of the Scenic Marathon Series and is built around the idea of Slow Life by the Mekong, with a half marathon, marathon, 10K, 5K and 3K spread across the weekend and a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere on the riverbank.

Other questions
Online registration closes on 31 October 2026, so entries need to be completed well before the event. The cheapest price step is only valid until 30 September 2026, and prices rise afterwards.
The half marathon and marathon each have a dedicated SLOW Runner wave with the same entry fee and the same start time as the main race. These waves are for runners who expect to take longer on the course: entrants are disqualified if their finish time is under 2 hours 30 minutes for the half marathon or under 5 hours for the marathon.
December falls in Thailand's cool season, so mornings on the Mekong are usually the most comfortable time of day, which is why the marathon, half marathon and 10K all start before dawn. Mornings can be cool at the start, so a light layer to wear before the gun is useful.
