Business intelligence for Raceup's growth strategy — market analysis, competitive landscape & sponsorship opportunities
Thailand's running event industry has emerged as one of Southeast Asia's most vibrant markets. The post-COVID resurgence has accelerated growth significantly — with major events like the Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok (ATMBKK) surging from 33,000 to 48,000 participants between 2024 and 2025 alone. The Tourism Authority of Thailand's strategic alignment with global running stars (including Eliud Kipchoge) positions Thailand as Asia's premier running destination.
The Thailand running gear market reached ฿6.34 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach ฿11.4 Billion by 2033 (CAGR 6.03%), driven by rising middle-class participation in lifestyle sports and an increasingly fitness-conscious population.

Central Retail's 2024 acquisition of HOKA/Saucony distribution rights signals aggressive brand investment in Thai running. This creates an urgent opportunity for Raceup to approach Central Retail with multi-event packages — especially for provincial events (Korat, Chiang Mai, Phuket) where competitors have weaker coverage. Target proposal: 3-event annual package at THB 800K–1.5M per brand.
