The event aims to promote physical fitness among doctors, nurses, and medical personnel while inspiring the public to prioritize exercise. Additionally, it seeks to enhance Pattaya’s reputation as a “Sports City” and a hub for sustainable sports tourism.
The event not only encourages physical and mental well-being but also builds knowledge-sharing and networking among medical professionals and the public. It will coincide with the RCOST-COA-HKOA 2025 academic conference, focusing on advancements, techniques, and innovations in orthopaedics.
The “RCOST RUN 2025” features two race categories: a 2 km and a 5 km run, divided into age groups: Men (40–49 years), Women (50–59 years), and an OVERALL category (60 years and above).
