OWNDAYS Thailand Hosts Charity Run to Support Education
Over 2,500 runners joined musician Toon Bodyslam at the 'OWN Your Running DAYS' charity event in Bangkok, raising 1.1 million baht for educational initiatives.
On Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Japanese eyewear brand OWNDAYS Thailand celebrated its 11th anniversary in the country by hosting a charity running event titled 'OWN Your Running DAYS' at Stadium One in Bangkok. The event drew a crowd of 2,500 participants, including special guest Artiwara 'Toon' Kongmalai, the renowned Thai musician, who led the start of the 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer races.
The initiative successfully raised 1.1 million baht, which will be donated to the 'Kao Puen Nong' (Step for Kids) project. This program is dedicated to providing educational opportunities to underprivileged children and youth across Thailand.
For residents and visitors, this event highlights the growing trend of corporate-sponsored charity sports in Bangkok, which often combine health-conscious activities with social responsibility. While the event successfully met its fundraising goals, details regarding the specific schools or educational institutions that will receive the funds have not yet been publicly disclosed. The event served as both a celebration of the brand's decade-plus presence in the Thai market and a platform for community engagement. Those interested in future charitable sporting events in the capital should monitor local community announcements, as these gatherings frequently occur at major urban sports hubs like Stadium One.
