SUUNTO Brand Ambassador Kieran Tuntivate Makes History at the Chicago

Bangkok, Thailand — October 22, 2026

Fresh from a record-breaking performance at the 2026 Chicago Marathon, Thai distance-running star and SUUNTO brand ambassador Kieran Tuntivate returned to Bangkok to celebrate the grand opening of SUUNTO RUN 2 at Ari Running One on October 22, bringing his remarkable achievement on the international stage closer to Thailand’s running community.

A Record-Breaking Marathon Debut

At the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 11, Kieran Tuntivate delivered an outstanding performance, crossing the finish line at 2:08:01 to set a new Thai national marathon record and finish 15th overall in a world-class men's field.

Making his marathon debut, Kieran demonstrated exceptional endurance and consistency over the 42.195-kilometer distance. His performance also saw him set Thai national records at 25 km and 30 km, marking a milestone in his transition from track and shorter road distances to the marathon.

This achievement adds another chapter to Kieran’s distinguished running career and reflects the dedication, discipline, and pursuit of progress that define his approach to the sport.

Bringing the Momentum Home to Bangkok

On October 22, Kieran Tuntivate joined the SUUNTO community at Ari Running Store at One Bangkok for the grand opening of SUUNTO RUN 2 in Thailand. His appearance came at an exciting moment, following his historic run in Chicago and giving local runners a chance to connect with an athlete who continues to push the boundaries of Thai distance running.

The event celebrated more than the arrival of a new running watch. It brought together the spirit of performance, the passion of the local running community, and SUUNTO’s commitment to helping athletes pursue their next goals.

As a SUUNTO brand ambassador, Kieran embodies the brand's mindset: continuous improvement, purposeful training, and the determination to go further. His recent marathon achievement is a powerful example of that pursuit in action.
