I am Thai runner. I often run in This place. you may be wrong about the Route which is not 2.5 km. But It is 6-12 Km within the park depend on which way you go. It is scenic route with large lake and forest atmosphere. and also rectagular running path is exactly 8 km around the park. there are food stall on the weekend, also allow fast bike ride everyday.
