(typo: thet -> that)
#1 is the correct option here.
I looked it up and there seems to be a specific rule for this - When referring to future events, the present progressive is used for events that are pre-planned (as part of a decision), and the simple present is used to refer to events that are scheduled. (timetable of trains, planes, etc).
This Monday, I run in a marathon. (X)
This Monday, I am running in a marathon. (✓)
The train arrives at 9:00PM tonight. (✓)
The train is arriving at 9:00PM tonight. (X)

"What's the difference between them?" This is the proper question form.

Don't forget to change "thet" to "that" and besides that both sentences are correct. There is no big difference between the two so either one is just fine.
