Jim was biking by Three Kings Monument in the old city when he "ran" into a major event taking place - the Chiang Mai Marathon.
He never actually saw any runners - just people buying New Balance sneakers - and now he knows why. Based on the announcement below, it's unlikely anyone made it to the finish line!
Dear All Runners.
From the confusion of the race route Chiang Mai Marathon on December 26, 2010 caused by the failure of officials in the way some say the wrong path. Because the group is leading runners run long path can not run to the finish line. The organizing committee Chiangmai Marathon so sorry and apologize all runners who have been affected by the execution of the duties of this committee.
Best Regards,
Mr. Sayun Somdulyawat
