PHUKET, Thailand – A weekend of sporting fun saw a record-breaking 4,000 runners enjoy the 4th Supersports 10 Mile International Run 2018 Phuket Presented by Thanyapura. Held on 24th and 25th March at the award-winning Thanyapura Health & Sports Resort, there was something for everyone with distances including a 500 metre Kids Run, 3 Mile (4.8km), 5 Mile (8km) and the iconic 10 Mile (16km) run, all part of a “Run Festival” concept that has seen the event grow to become one of Phuket's leading sports events.
Officially opened by Phuket's Vice Governor, Mr. Sanith Sriwihok, the two days saw lots of fun activities, a kids zone, an evening concert headlined by Modern Dog on Saturday 24th March, as well as medals for all finishers and trophies for the respective distance winners.

We look forward to making the event even bigger and better next year,” said Miss Siraporn Wattana, Vice President of Marketing, Supersports.
“As well as providing an enjoyable experience for all involved, we are very proud to be able to give back to the local community. A portion of the entry fees from this years event will be donated to Wat Mongkol Wararam School” added Miss Wattana.
