The Capital of Trail running in Thailand

The province of Chiang Mai, located in the north of the country, has become in a few years the capital of trail running in Thailand and a recognized spot throughout Asia. In less than 10 years, inspired by the work done by TMT, an ever-increasing number of runners have come to discover the trails relived by our agency. Little by little races and practitioners multiplied. International runners were quickly won over by the atmosphere of the mountains around Chiang Mai. Easy access, magnificent landscapes of jungle and rice fields, many national parks, mountains as far as the eye can see, the highest peaks in the country, stages in bamboo villages, trail running in Chiang Mai is a unique experience to live. Proof of the lightning recognition of its status, the city hosted the World Trail Championships in 2022 and the UTMB race in Doi Inthanon became the Asia Pacific final of the World Series circuit.

Unique Trail running Routes

The province of Chiang Mai has the most beautiful national parks and the highest mountains in Thailand. The region is populated by many ethnic tribes (Karen, Lahu, Hmong, Lisu) whose bamboo and teak-wood villages offer so many choice stops for nights in the mountains. The opportunities for trail running are therefore immense and the variety of landscapes infinite. In 10 years, Thailand Mountain Trail has created multiple exclusive trail routes. From one to five days, from 20kms to 30kms per day, for intermediate (Trail Tour) or advanced (Ultra Tour) runners, in stages or from a base camp, we want to show you what Chiang Mai best offer. With our status as a trail pioneer and our knowledge of the mountains, our stays are unique... like the experience you will have.
