- To organize the UNFPA Mini Marathon both on-course run and visual run expecting 1,000 on-course runners and at least 3,000 virtual runners.

Answers to the submitted questions:
- In the RFQ, we cannot find the required distance for the course run and virtual run? Please advise. It is mini marathon, thus the distance is 10 Kilometers.
- Is UNFPA allowing the race organizer to collect registration fees? If yes, can the race organizer determine the height of the registration fees? The fee will be collected through the organizer to UNFPA bank account. However, the agreed fee for registration will be discussed with the organiser first.
- Is UNFPA allowing the race organizer to attract sponsorship for the race besides UNFPA? Yes. But all potential sponsors needs to be cleared and approved by UNFPA according to our policy before approaching the sponsors.
- You mention a maximum budget for ALL the activities of THB 500,000. However, the production of a finisher shirt + medal for 4,000 participants will already cost close to THB 800,000 alone. Since we feel the number of 500,000 THB is far-from-realistic we would like to know if 500K is a typo or the actual maximum budget? This can be discussed. You can propose budget you feel it is manageable by your company.
