About 250 soon-to-be-married couples put on their wedding attire and laced up their sneakers for the annual “Running of the Brides” event in Bangkok on Saturday.
According to Reuters, the couples were competing for prizes valued at about $28,000 including a gown for the bride and a suit for the groom, wedding bands and a honeymoon in the Maldives. Sirada Thamwanna and her fiancé, Sittichai Prasongsin, won the 2.5-mile race, which was held in a park in Bangkok.
Brides could be seen wearing colorful sneakers from a range of athletic brands including Nike, Adidas and Reebok.
