Participants will compete on 25-km, 42-km and 70-km routes, which
traverse through the lush jungles, limestone cliffs and rice paddies.
On their trails, runners will meet with ethnic minorities and plodding
buffaloes, before celebrating with a special party at Ban Hang village after
the race.
The VJM is an official Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) qualifying race. UTMB
is a race of the Ultra-trail world tour. So, the event will provide a great
opportunity for runners to gain points to join the UTMB race.
Runners can register via the website vietnamjunglemarathon.com.
The race is organised by Topas Travel, founder of Vietnam’s longest established
and hardest ultra race, Sa Pa’s Vietnam Mountain Marathon.
Last year, the tournament attracted some 300 runners from 32 nations. Almost
half of the 300 participants were Vietnamese.
