The Columbia Trail Masters 2013 will take place at Khao Mai Keaw in East Pattaya on Sunday, June 16.

The 5th edition of the Thailand Trail Running Championship is open to all and will offer 4 distances as follows: 50km trail run ultra, 25km trail run, 10km trail run and 3.5km fun run/walk for children and families.  These fun runs are designed to be a part of the local communities in the event and to promote sports, fair play and camaraderie amongst children.  This initiative has proven very popular in other AMA events.

Trail running is a new and very fast growing sport that integrates physical and mental endurance, the great outdoors and adventure.  When people think of running, they most often picture running on the road or running on a track.  But, a lot of runners opt to run on hiking trails in natural settings.  Trail running combines the beautiful outdoor scenery of hiking with the physical challenges of running.  If you are the type that loves being in beautiful, outdoor settings, then trail running is something for you.
