The brides-to-be dressed in gowns powered through the first two kilometers while bridegrooms-to-be had to give a piggy-back ride for the last kilometer. /VCG Photo

Saisroy Songprasert and her bridegroom-to-be, Wasan Thatnamol, were the first to reach the finish line at 27 minutes and 43 seconds, winning a fully-sponsored wedding and trips to the Maldives and Sapporo. /VCG Photo
