14th...ah I see: the first group yellow shirts, the second red...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I was talking to a Thai guy in Nong Prajak on Sunday,who is doing the full marathon (42k).
Apparently there are 3 races....Marathon (42k),Mini Marathon (10k) and Fun Run(5k).
The Marathon starts at 4am apparently.....not sure of the time of the other two....I would think after 5am.
Registration is at Nong Prajak Park on Saturday 13th.....again not exactly sure where but would hazard a guess it would be in the area just inside the park gates near Good Everything restaurant.
The Marathon starts only an hour or so later than the finish of the late kick off Barclays Premiership match for those wanting to transfer straight from one sporting event to another !!

Thanks for the detailed info Zidane.
