Join Vietnam Trail Marathon
Welcome to VTM, the third race in the Vietnam Trail Series by Topas.
Following the Vietnam Mountain Marathon in Sapa and Pu Luong’s Vietnam Jungle Marathon, the Vietnam Trail Marathon first edition is an opportunity to discover the majestic, hidden trails of Moc Chau and venture far beyond the paths of those before you.
This race takes place in Moc Chau, an area famed for tea plantations and peach blossom orchards. The event will take place at the very height of beach blossom season, creating a running spectacle like no other.
Course highlights
With plenty of gain, this is a tough ultra marathon that should only be undertaken by experienced runners.
After a lakeshore start surrounded by pine forest, a runnable few km of flowing trail leads to a very steep climb into remote backcountry – in this area the ethnic minority settlements are definitely not named on Google maps.
After 19km you will head into a section that only the 70k runners will see and which is very much off the beaten path. Here you will ascend to the highest point on the course before running down to CP3.
After joining the 42k runners in the village of Ban Doi (CP5) your tired legs face another major climbing challenge up to CP6 in Pa Ken 2 village. Soon after this you will turn onto another exclusive 70k section including many blossom orchards before you head to the stunning finish line tea plantation.
