Continuing a Nearly 20-Year Mission in Health and Medicine
Pornwut Sarasin, Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the ThaiNamthip Foundation, stated that the organisation's first charity run received overwhelming interest from both general runners and business partners who contributed funds. The activity reflects the commitment of the ThaiNamthip Foundation, which was established in 2007 and has operated continuously for the public benefit for nearly 20 years, with a core mission of improving public health alongside expanding access to medical services.
The success of raising over 3,609,100 baht without deducting expenses directly supports the treatment of patients lacking financial means and strengthens medical equipment readiness for Chulabhorn Hospital. In addition, the event area featured beverage booths from Coca-Cola to refresh runners, as well as food stalls from a variety of well-known eateries, recreational activity zones, and special souvenirs for participants. The organisation remains committed to pursuing sustainability initiatives and organising activities that create long-term positive outcomes for communities, society, and the environment.
Systematic Waste Management at the Event
Beyond raising funds for charity and supporting the health of participants, the organisers also prioritised reducing environmental impact by setting up systematic waste sorting stations. Throughout the event, a total of over 145 kilograms of waste was collected and sorted into 6 main categories for proper processing in line with circular economy principles.
- Materials returned to the recycling process totalled 136.1 kilograms, covering PET plastic bottles, aluminium cans, paper containers, and other types of plastic.
- Food waste amounting to 8.90 kilograms was sent for processing into compost.
- The remaining general waste after sorting was properly transferred to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's solid waste management system.
Information from this event serves as a notable case study for event organisers and hotel professionals responsible for planning outdoor events or running activities, as it demonstrates how to manage over 2,700 participants alongside food stalls and a 6-category waste sorting system that recovered almost all materials for reuse. Meanwhile, travellers and members of the public who enjoy health running events can follow the social initiatives of various organisations to take part in contributing to the public health sector in the future.
