Registering
Registration is online at phuketmarathon.com, which we could not read in detail on 30 October 2026: fees and the 2027 opening are therefore not stated here. Check whether a medical certificate or insurance is required, and read the cancellation terms before paying.
Heat and preparation
June is rainy season, with strong heat and humidity: the last edition used dawn and late-day starts. Get used to running early, drink bottled or refill-station water (see tap water in Phuket) and allow a few days to acclimatise. To train on the island, see where to run in Phuket.
Where to stay
The event lists Dusit Thani Laguna, SAii Laguna, Angsana Laguna, Hilton Garden Inn Phuket Bang Tao, Banyan Tree and Cassia nearby: book early, as the area fills up. Compare offers on Booking.com Phuket or read where to stay in Bang Tao.
Other races
The Laguna Phuket Triathlon was listed for 15 November 2026 on a calendar; the 2027 date is still to be confirmed. We know of no other major race confirmed for 2027.
