Star Petroleum Refining Public Company Limited, or SPRC, hosted “RUN FOR YOU AND SEA”—an all-in-one charity event involving running, eating and travelling.
Prizes for the winners together with commemorative medals were presented by the Governor of Rayong Province. Around 1,500 runners joined from every part of Thailand. All proceeds from the event totalling 6.75 million baht without any expense deduction were donated along with topping up by the patronage of SPRC. The funds will be used to purchase and deliver medical equipment to hospitals in the Eastern Region of Thailand.
The opening ceremony at Mae Rum Phueng Beach, Rayong Province was honoured to have Mr. Supoj Toh-arjharn, Permanent Secretary of Rayong Province presiding.

The event aims to encourage people of every gender and generation to exercise, take good care of their health, and share and return good deeds to society. SPRC held the run with several health enthusiasts, environmental conservatives, and public volunteers joining.
