Giving food to monks in the Morning.

2005 was the fourth running of this Marathon which is now sponsored but ING. What makes it different is that it starts from a Buddist temple (Wat) and passes many more through the countryside about an hour south of BangKok. What makes it really different is the heat and humidity.
Equipment: If you want a chance of running less than an hour more than your marathon time get there many weeks earlier so that you can get used to the heat and humidity.
