The University of Phayao successfully organized its annual charity walk–run event, “RUN UP 2025,” on 22 November 2025, attracting more than 1,000 participants including students, staff, alumni, and members of the public. The event aimed to promote healthy lifestyles while generating financial support for student scholarships and long-term educational development.
The program featured four running categories: Kids Run (3 KM), Fun Run (5.4 KM), Mini Marathon (10 KM), and Virtual Run (15 KM). The Mini Marathon awarded Royal Trophies to the top male and female finishers, adding prestige and motivation for athletes and enhancing the event's significance.
Participants gained multiple benefits from joining the event—not only through improved physical well-being, but also by fostering community spirit, strengthening social connections, gaining inspiration to maintain active lifestyles, and contributing to a meaningful charitable cause. All registered runners received exclusive event shirts and commemorative medals, symbolizing their involvement in supporting accessible and sustainable education.
All proceeds after expenses will be donated to the University of Phayao Scholarship Fund, helping reduce educational inequity and empowering students to reach their full potential. The initiative reflects the university’s commitment to promoting Good Health & Well-being and advancing sustainable social development.
