CHIANG RAI – More than 2,500 cyclists, from Thailand and overseas, came together for CRC Chiang Rai Road Classic 2025 at Singha Park Chiang Rai. After running for over 11 years, the event continues to prove itself as one of Northern Thailand’s biggest road cycling gatherings.
It also highlights Singha Park Chiang Rai as a go-to sports destination that many riders hope to experience at least once.

Their presence reflected a shared effort to keep Chiang Rai on the map for major sporting events. Chiang Rai Road Classic is a popular cycling tourism event with some of the region’s most scenic road routes.
Riders can join on any type of bike, which keeps the event welcoming for all levels.
