Hua Hin Cycling and Running

Running
The Hua Hin Hash House Harriers or H2H3 are the primary running club in town. Membership has grown over the years and they now hold regular runs along a number of trails around the Hua Hin, Cha-am and Pranburi area.

"The H2H3 is a group of international fools who get a lot of enjoyment out of runing or walking around in jungles, mountains, beaches and sometimes highways in search of the end of the run and some cold beer and camaraderie."

For those that like to run alone nothing beats an early morning jog along the beach from Hua Hin center to Wat Khao Takiab. The distance is around 7 kilometers and you can take a Songtaew (green public bus) back into town for ten baht. However, the tides between December and early February can mean that jogging will be difficult as the beach gets very narrow and you're not likely to be able get further than halfway before it disappears alltogether.

Cycling
There is also a local Hua Hin cycling club called the Hua Cha Hash Pedalers (HCHP), a similar sort of thing but on bicycles. They meet up to take on trails and courses around the area.

A couple of good shops selling bicycles can be found on Petchkasem Road and nothing beats getting out into the open country on two wheels. Just be cautious of the traffic as cyclists are often ignored on the roads of Thailand.

There are a couple of cycle tour operators in Hua Hin who can organise trips into the surrounding countryside and generally keep you clear of the busiest roads.
