ThaiHealth sets 25th Visakha mindful walk-run for May 31

ThaiHealth will hold the 25th Visakha mindful walk-run on May 31 as part of a campaign urging people across Thailand to increase physical activity and fight non-communicable diseases. The event, announced on May 8, links exercise with Visakha Bucha observance and adds to broader public-health messaging that also reaches Phuket.

Campaign ties exercise to NCD prevention

The event is being promoted under the theme of mobilising the country to move more in response to NCDs, or non-communicable diseases. Officials said the walk-run is intended to encourage regular movement through an activity built around mindfulness.

This year marks the 25th edition of the Visakha mindful walk-run. The launch set May 31 as the date for the event.

ThaiHealth, formally the Thai Health Promotion Foundation, is organising the programme. The announcement identified the effort as a health-promotion activity tied to Visakha Bucha.

The source material did not provide venue details, race distances, registration information or participation fees. It identified May 8, 2026, as the event date in the announcement metadata and May 31 as the scheduled day for the 25th Visakha mindful walk-run.
