Competition Dates: October 24–25, 2026 at the University of Khon Kaen Agricultural Technology Park, Khon Kaen Province. Open registration for the 100K Ultra, 50K Ultra, 35K Challenge, 10K Speed Race, and 100K x4 Mix Relay.

What kind of VING Khon Kaen 100 is it?

VING Khon Kaen 100 or VING KK100 2026 It is the Road Ultra race on a 2.5-kilometer Loop route within the University of Khon Kaen Agricultural Technology Park.

The competition format forces runners to return to the starting point after each round of the distance, ranging from 4 rounds for the 10K to 40 rounds for the 100K Ultra and 100K x4 Mix Relay.

The challenge of the field lies not in mountains or steep slopes, but in managing rhythm, speed, energy, heat, fatigue, and mental state throughout the competition.

This field is not a trail.
VING KK100 is a 2.5-kilometer Road Loop designed for runners who want to try Road Ultra for the first time and those seeking to test long-distance planning on a venue that returns to Race Village frequently.

Every 2.5K, We Meet Again

The Loop is often viewed as a race that must be completed on the same course, yet in another dimension, returning every 2.5 kilometers creates a vibrant hub of encounters.

  • Meet the same runner in a never-before-seen race.
    As time passes, the expressions, rhythm, and feelings of each individual gradually transform. This field allows us to observe the close effort of one another.
  • Return to Race Village frequently.
    Runners can plan water, food, energy, equipment changes, or route management throughout their journey.
  • The cheering is not limited to the launch point.
    Every time you return, runners will meet friends, family, crew members, and partners again, so you won't have to face the journey alone.

EVERY 2.5K, WE MEET AGAIN.

A distance of 2.5 kilometers may seem short, but when repeated 4, 14, 20, or 40 times, each round takes us on a journey that leads us to encounter ourselves in a different version.

Choose the distance that matches your proof.

Warning for Long Distance Runners

The Ultra competition demands systematic training, rest, proper nutrition and hydration, and self-assessment of health. If you have pre-existing conditions, injuries, or health concerns, please consult a physician or qualified specialist before participating.

The original field may return to its starting point, but we are not the same people in every iteration.

VING Khon Kaen 100 2026 does not challenge runners with mountains or complex routes; it challenges with the simplicity of a 2.5-kilometer loop that must be repeated to reach 10, 35, 50, or 100 kilometers.

Every time you return to Race Village, runners replenish their water, recharge their energy, meet people, and decide once again whether to continue to the next round.
