In addition to the race, a fancy‑dress contest will award cash prizes and trophies worth 5,500 baht, and free concerts will be performed by Pop Pongkool, Top Phopphorn and Jetset’er on the evenings of 23 and 24 October. The route will be decorated with twelve‑zodiac lantern check‑in points and extra lighting to highlight Nan’s nocturnal charm. Officials said the event aims to attract health‑conscious travelers and families, marking the start of Nan’s high‑season tourism period.
