About Vertical Marathon 2026
Now in its 23rd edition, the Banyan Tree Bangkok Vertical Marathon is one of Thailand's most iconic charity sporting events. Since its inception in 1999, the event has united fitness enthusiasts and compassionate supporters to raise funds for the "HIV Formula Feeding Fund" of the Thai Red Cross Society, under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Soamsawali.
Join us on Sunday, 20 December 2026, and take on the ultimate vertical challenge by conquering 1,093 steps across 61 storeys to the finish line at the spectacular Vertigo rooftop.
This year's race is even more special, as participants will be among the first to cross the finish line at the newly transformed Vertigo, unveiling a stunning new chapter for Banyan Tree Bangkok's iconic rooftop destination. Celebrate your achievement while taking in breathtaking 360-degree views of Bangkok from one of the city's most celebrated rooftop venues.
Every step you take supports a meaningful cause, making the Vertical Marathon more than just a race—it's a journey of endurance, determination, and giving back.
