Dalat Ultra Trail

The Butterfly - Be The Curious “U” Curious about trail running? Want to discover the feeling of running through nature but are hesitant about high slopes and long, challenging distances? 5KM is the perfect place for you to start! The 5KM course map is designed for everyone to participate, even if you’ve never run a trail race before. You will leisurely stride beneath the cool pine canopy of the Valley of Love, explore 30 Miniature Wonders, and enjoy the fresh air. This is the perfect distance to get acquainted with your very first small slopes, ensuring your journey ends completely and full of inspiration.

The Cone - Be The Exploring “U” Are you captivated by the free-spirited exploration of trail running? The 15KM distance is perfect for running with a free, liberal, and cheerful soul, without the pressure of complex technique or nutrition! This is the journey for you to discover the true love for trail running that’s burning within, turning every step into joy. The 15KM map is long enough for you to step out of your comfort zone, delve deep into the heart of the Đà Lạt pine forest to hunt for stunning, hidden corners. The continuous high and low slopes will be a moderate, yet not overly harsh, test of endurance. You will learn to master your own rhythm and cross the finish line with the complete satisfaction of a true explorer.

The Forest - Be The Forest Conqueror “U” At this distance, you no longer enter the forest seeking comfort; you begin seeking challenges to expand your comfort zone and become a true Conqueror. The 21KM course demands familiarity with mountainous terrain to navigate the slopes of Núi Ông and a series of other high hills. This is the first time you must confront genuine fatigue and learn to fight it with sheer willpower and a basic nutritional strategy. But believe that you will be rewarded with a sweeping panoramic view, encompassing the breathtaking beauty of nature.

The Mountain - Be The Ultra “U” You are ready to become an ultratrail athlete, and the 50km distance is the gateway to this arena, where your journey and yourself will be taken to a whole new level. In shorter distances, you might be able to leisurely "play" with the forest, but at this distance, you must learn to understand, respect, and harmonize with the mountains and forests like a true warrior. More than just simply doubling the distance, the 50KM is a mandatory test of both psychology and endurance for anyone who wants to officially step into the ultra-trail game.

The Sun - Be The Sun Warrior “U” Don't stop at 50km! Be brave and upgrade to step into a game where you learn to control your mind like a true warrior. The 75KM map will require you to run in the dark, cross gloomy old-growth forests, and learn to befriend yourself along the long road. Your skills in mountain running and nutrition management must now become instinct so you can focus on the psychological battle. And the most deserving reward awaits you: a picturesque, brilliant sunrise, as the first rays of light gradually penetrate and paint the forest edge gold. Only resilient Sun Warriors will get to witness that sight.

The Star - Be The Shining “U” You've run because of curiosity, run to seek a challenge, and run to become more proficient. Well, the time has come for you to level up to a new challenge - the 100km distance. The 100KM course will be unforgiving, presenting you with demanding physical and mental tests. Steep inclines and gentle slopes relentlessly follow one another. You'll tackle the slopes of Núi Ông right after conquering Lang Biang, travel for hours through the late-night forest guided only by your headlamp, and push past the sleepiness trying to take hold of your mind. If you have overcome all challenges before this, now you will be the one to push yourself, conquer self-doubt, and transform into a star on your very own ultra-trail journey.

The Pro - Be The Pro "U" This is a calling, or perhaps more accurately, a challenge for professional ultra-trail runners. You're already familiar with the terrain of Lang Biang mountain, so why not upgrade yourself with the 100PRO distance, where the cut-off-time is reduced to a tight 20 hours? Under this time pressure, will your instincts and quick wit be honed to the absolute limit? This is the ultimate test for trail "top students" - a combination of time management skills, nutrition strategy, accumulated training, and physical plus mental foundation.
