On the early morning of Sunday, June 7, 2026, in the heart of Bangkok, One Bangkok transformed the green space of One Bangkok Park into a vibrant stage celebrating diversity with the event "One Bangkok One Pride One Run 2026". This running event was filled with positive energy, happiness, and friendship, reinforcing the idea that 'everyone is a source of pride, and every step is an expression of our unique identities in equality.'

The Power of Diversity

The atmosphere was lively with over 1,000 runners of all ages, genders, and styles, dressed in a variety of colorful outfits, gathering at One Bangkok Park to prepare for the start. The event was energized by mascots who added fun and entertainment, greeting and engaging with the runners throughout the day. The runners, along with artists and influencers, began the activities with a warm-up session led by experts from Jetts Black to get everyone ready and energized.

Afterward, Mr. Worawart Srisaan, Senior Executive Vice President of the One Bangkok Project, stated, “The positive energy and vibrant colors of over a thousand runners at the ‘One Bangkok One Pride One Run 2026’ is a clear reflection of our vision to create a truly inclusive ‘city at heart’.
