Shaking up the entire hybrid race scene! VJ Ja launches "LEGACY RACE," a stage unleashing the power of warriors aged 50-69, proving strength never expires. The inaugural event closed with an overwhelming response for Allianz Ayudhya presents LEGACY RACE 2026, organized by VJ Ja Natthawiwan Thongmee, founder and owner of the Legacy Race project, leading the management team for the first time on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at IMPACT Exhibition Hall 5, Muang Thong Thani.
The event opened to over 300 competitors aged 50-69 challenging their potential through a Hybrid Fitness Race that blends running with physical fitness testing stations, under the concept "WE ARE WARRIORS," amid cheers from families and spectators all day, with Allianz Ayudhya serving as official title sponsor.
VJ Ja spoke about organizing the first race: "I'm delighted the event received a response beyond expectations. Legacy Race started from my own idea after working in the health industry for a long time. I saw many people in their 50s and 60s who are still incredibly strong and inspire those around them. I wanted to create a stage for them to shine, to show their strength, and to be proud of what they can achieve.
When peers, younger people, or older people see this, it may inspire them to take care of themselves or set new goals. Another thing I wanted to happen is quality family time — from the day grandchildren come to cheer during training to the day they stand cheering trackside. Seeing how much our loved ones commit to reaching the finish line gives everyone a chance to be proud of each other.
Seeing it all come true, I feel the first event succeeded beyond what I imagined. Many more good things happened than I pictured when starting the project. What makes me happiest is that as soon as it ended, people were already asking, 'When is the next one?'"
The Legacy Race team prioritized competitor preparation, from eligibility and health screening to the Legacy Race Orientation: Countdown to Race Day, so participants could learn rules and familiarize themselves with all eight stations, receive training advice from VJ Ja and the coaching team, and learn physical preparation from the expert medical team at Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital. On race day, a team of doctors, nurses, and rescue personnel were on duty throughout the event.
