OWNDAYS Hosts Running Event at Stadium One, Giving 1,100,000 Baht in Youth Scholarships

OWNDAYS, a leading optical retail business from Japan, held its 11th-anniversary running event under the name OWN Your Running DAYS at Stadium One in the heart of Bangkok from 10 to 11 October 2026. The event brought together runners, customers and health enthusiasts to exercise and care for their physical health alongside their eye health. In addition, all proceeds from the running event and matching contributions, totalling 1,100,000 baht, were presented to the Kao Kon La Kao Foundation to provide scholarships for youth.

Passing on Educational Opportunities Through the Kao Puea Nong Project and Eye Care

Organising the running event on the occasion of the 11th anniversary aimed primarily to thank customers for their continued trust, while campaigning for urban residents to exercise and embrace new perspectives in their daily lives. Throughout its history, the company has been committed to developing the quality of spectacle frames and eyewear innovations alongside fast, consumer-focused service standards. The success of the activity therefore reflects the bond between the eye care provider and the community of health enthusiasts who came together to create positive energy.

Beyond promoting good health, this running event also served as a bridge of goodwill by collecting all proceeds together with additional contributions totalling 1,100,000 baht to present to the Kao Kon La Kao Foundation under the Kao Puea Nong project. This donation will go towards supporting scholarships for underprivileged children and youth, as the company firmly believes that youth are a vital force in national development, and that receiving educational opportunities alongside clear vision from a young age forms the foundation of a sustainable society.

The Vision of OWNDAYS Thailand Moving into a New Decade and Branch Expansion

For its journey into the new decade, OWNDAYS set the core concept of its 11th-anniversary campaign as OWN your DAYS, aiming to add value to the lives of everyone involved under the concept To enrich the life of everyone connected to OWNDAYS. The organisation's goal is not limited solely to delivering prescription glasses, but rather to support wearers in being the main characters driving their own stories to the fullest. The smiles and friendships of the runners at the event thus served as the perfect starting point for stepping into the next decade.

Regarding its business direction in Thailand, OWNDAYS Thailand continues to expand its branches and develop its products so that customers can conveniently access Japanese-standard eye care services. Currently, this optical retail network operates more than 600 branches across 12 countries and regions worldwide. Those interested in new product collections and future events can follow updates on Facebook under OWNDAYS Thailand and on Instagram under owndays_thailand.

The success of this event serves as an interesting model for event planners and organisers looking to design urban wellness activities paired with social contribution at venues such as Stadium One. At the same time, hoteliers and business operators in nearby areas can use this information to plan and accommodate runners and event participants travelling to use their services, while health-conscious travellers and members of the public can follow similar events to join in exercising and giving back opportunities to society in the future.
