Over 4,000 jiggled and jogged at Pattaya’s seventh iteration of the annual Bikini Beach Race over the weekend.
While people elsewhere were dressing up for the Halloween weekend, runners at the event stripped down to skimpy swimwear to go on a 5K jog along Pattaya Beach, in front of the Central Pattaya shopping mall, on Saturday.
Attendees at the event, billed as the “sexiest running event in Thailand,” included numerous locals, celebrities, models, and influencers from over 30 countries. Japanese idol and gravure group trio Sherbet – consisting of members Hashimoto Rina, Aoyama Hikaru, Kawaji Yukiko – also took part in the run and even performed a mini concert at the event.
First occurring in 2016, the Bikini Beach Race is a collaborative event by the city of Pattaya and the Tourism Authority of Thailand meant to boost tourism and “encourage people to care about their health.”
Check out some of the photos, as well as a snippet of Sherbet’s performance (and their bikinis) below.
