Bangkok's top 5 running clubs
What is it? Meet the punk-spirited crew shaking up Bangkok's running scene. Ugly Running Training Club – URT for short – is less about lap times, more about theatre in motion. At Benjakitti Park, they trade performance metrics for eyeliner, loud playlists and chipped polish. It's gritty, messy, oddly stylish – part run, part runway. Where others bring neon Lycra and polite nods, URT shows up with sequins and safety pins, turning each stride into a statement. How it all started: As one of the original members, Pu Wongwaiwit tells us, it started with a loose circle of friends who laced up around the same time and ran simply because they felt like it. Once or twice a week, no pressure, no plan. What set them apart wasn't distance or discipline, but a shared instinct for mischief – styling themselves somewhere between early-2000s indie band and post-party stragglers. The name stuck because it fit. Ugly wasn't about looking rough. It was about rejecting the polished, protein shake version of running. What's the energy now? There's the faint echo of a subculture here – part music, part running crew, part found family. They're not interested in conformity or curated lifestyles. What binds them is shared pace and politics: a refusal to separate style from sport or softness from strength. Arrive at Benjakitti on a URT day and you'll find bodies moving in imperfect unison, matching each other beat for beat, not to win but to witness. There's no hierarchy, no coach, no one yelling about hydration. Just movement and mood. How to join? There's no onboarding, no membership tier, no awkward icebreakers. If you fancy a run, just turn up – most mornings around 6.30am, Gate 3, Benjakitti Park, by the stretching zone. No one will ask your pace or your PB. There are occasional events too – equal parts chaos and charm – announced via cryptic Instagram posts at @ugly_running_training_club. Just lace up and show up. Everything else falls into place. Time Out tip: On June 15 at 6.30pm, Pickle and URT team up for a one-night-only run that's anything but quiet. In honour of Pride Month, this is for those who move loud, dress bold and show up with spirit. Expect a three kilometre night run through the city, games, giveaways and a live set from Gene Kasidit to close it all out. Register by June 10 via here
