Krungthai-AXA Life Insurance partners with allies to invite people with and without disabilities to participate in “RUN2GETHER Know You Can 2026,” a major annual event.

Mr. Natthapisit Krutkrongchai, CEO of Krungthai-AXA Life Insurance, revealed that the company reinforces its commitment to inclusion and diversity, believing that everyone deserves equal treatment and non-discrimination based on gender, religion, race, age, or physical ability.

“As a main sponsor, the company is honored to continuously support the “RUN2GETHER Know You Can” event for the ninth year. This activity symbolizes friendship and the power of equality, providing opportunities for everyone, regardless of occupation, gender, age, or whether they have disabilities or not, to participate in a journey filled with individuality, determination, fun, and positive feelings throughout the event. The company's goal in organizing this event this year…” In line with the company's "Know You Can" philosophy, which encourages everyone to have self-confidence, dare to think, dare to act, and dare to live a better life according to their desires without limitations, through activities that focus on promoting inclusion and diversity, Krungthai-AXA Life Insurance also shows its care and provides added peace of mind to everyone. The company has provided group insurance to cover accidents and death for all runners and volunteers, in line with the company's core policy of "Standing by your side, caring for you always."

Mr. Chatchai Apibalpoonphol, Chairman of the Together Foundation for People with Disabilities and Society, said about this year's Together Run: "This year marks the 12th year of the Together Run, where the community serves as an example of how people with and without disabilities can live together. While we exercise together to maintain our health, we also gain a deeper understanding of each other, forming a stronger community. This major annual event is an opportunity for everyone to come together and demonstrate the power of living together in society. Furthermore, over the past 11 years, our members have set an example by participating in full marathons (42 km) or even 100 km runs, showing everyone in society that..." People with disabilities can participate just like everyone else. We also have online spaces like the Facebook Group: Run Together, where everyone can chat and invite each other to do exercise activities. This opens up opportunities for everyone to live together in the same society.”

The “RUN2GETHER 2026” event in Bangkok, held on March 1st at the National Stadium (Supachalasai Stadium) and surrounding areas, was a running event designed for both people with and without disabilities to run together. People with disabilities had the opportunity to be guide runners, running alongside and supporting each other throughout the course. The event offered three distances: 10 kilometers, 6 kilometers, and 2 kilometers. As in previous years, recycled materials were used to produce the commemorative medals, which were designed to be connected so that all runners could take photos together to celebrate their achievement. The event attracted interest from both returning and new volunteer guide runners, who joined in creating a warm atmosphere, guiding people with disabilities to the finish line. Over 1,900 people with disabilities, guide runners, and volunteers participated in this event. All runners enjoyed a warm atmosphere and demonstrated great friendship with one another. This event wasn't about speed competition; everyone could achieve their goals in their own way and celebrate together. It fostered friendships that transcended differences, promoting equality for all in society.

The event was attended by people with all types of disabilities: visually impaired, hearing or communication impaired, mobility or physical disabled, mental or behavioral disabled, intellectually disabled, learning disabled, and autistic, along with numerous volunteers and coordinators from various departments, all contributing to a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Furthermore, the organizing team has organized "RUN2GETHER" events for disabled runners and guide runners in other provinces such as Chiang Mai, Chonburi, Surat Thani, Udon Thani, and Nakhon Ratchasima. To ensure the project's continuity, monthly "RUN2GETHER" events are held to encourage disabled runners and guide runners to continue running, strengthening friendships and promoting good health.
