"One Bangkok One Pride One Run 2026" is another example of an event that expresses the power of celebration during Pride Month through the belief that "everyone is pride, and every step is a demonstration of unique identity with equality."
One Bangkok One Pride One Run 2026 attracted overwhelming interest from participants since registration opened. This was not only because running has become one of the most popular activities among modern urbanites but also because the event transformed running into a space to celebrate Pride Month. It offered people the chance to express themselves, spend time together, and be part of an atmosphere of equality with every step along the shared route.
The event was filled with color, and every pace—whether slow or fast—was truly energized with strength in every stride.
One Bangkok One Pride One Run 2026 was initiated by One Bangkok, a global lifestyle hub in the heart of Bangkok, in collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. This activity created a space where people could live freely and equally together.
Within the context of a city where people seek spaces for relaxation and interaction, One Bangkok not only served as the starting point of the run but also acted as a connector between key green spaces in Bangkok, linking Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Park. This reflects the concept of building community and promoting an open urban lifestyle for everyone.
On 7 June 2023 GMT+7, over a thousand runners participated, choosing to register for one of two distances: the 5-kilometer run starting at One Bangkok Park, continuing around Lumphini Park, and returning to finish at One Bangkok Park; or the 10-kilometer run starting at One Bangkok Park, passing the green bridge connecting to Benjakitti Park, then looping back to finish at One Bangkok Park.
At One Bangkok One Pride One Run 2026 this year, the atmosphere brimmed with color and the power of diversity—from runners and fitness enthusiasts to well-known artists like ATLAS and VVV, as well as many celebrities who helped create a celebratory mood through fashion and personal style that reflected free self-expression.
After crossing the finish line, runners enjoyed an after-party with music by DJ Rhunrun and savored food and drinks from popular vendors within One Bangkok, offering attendees more than just a race but a shared experience.
A highlight that added vibrancy to this run was the special award for the best-dressed runner, recognizing costumes that embodied the event's concept of providing space for everyone to fully express their identity and pride in their own way.
Ultimately, One Bangkok One Pride One Run 2026 was not merely a race to reach the finish line but a moment for people to celebrate their identities, diversity, and coexistence within one city.
