Join Vietnam Mountain Marathon
The Vietnam Mountain Marathon stems from a lifelong passion for running and a deep fascination with Vietnam. This breathtaking race will guide you through the awe-inspiring Hoang Lien National Park and its secluded valleys near Sapa - areas typically off-limits to most.
Participants can select from a variety of distances: 10km, 21km, 50km, 70km, 100km, and 100 miles. You'll run between picturesque villages, navigate through vibrant rice terraces, cross rustic bamboo bridges, and pass by water buffalo, all while being cheered on by enthusiastic ethnic minority communities.
Get ready to embark on an extraordinary adventure!
