Attracting over 7,000 participants, the event garnered significant interest from health-conscious individuals. The high level of engagement reflects a growing awareness among Thai people about the importance of taking care of one’s health and demonstrates how ‘Life’s Good’ when the community gathers together to share the joy of exercise.

In addition, the event was designed to inspire and encourage Thai people to engage in more physical activity and exercise, which can lessen the burden on medical personnel and lower the risk factors for chronic diseases in the country. As more people in Thailand maintain good health, the national healthcare system will continue to improve.
