Nearly 1,000 athletes from 47 countries and territories will take part in the Vietnam Jungle Marathon 2019 on May 25th in the central province of Thanh Hoa’s Pu Luong Nature Reserve, which is home to an ancient jungle, soaring limestone peaks, vibrant rice paddy fields, and small ethnic minority villages.
This is the third race in the
Vietnam Trail Series held by Topas Travel, aiming to encourage local sporting
spirit and promote tourism. Topas also organises the Vietnam Mountain Marathon,
one of the biggest ultra-running events in Asia.
Participants will race in five routes: the new race (10 km), jungle race (25
km), full marathon (42 km), and ultramarathon (55 km and 70 km).
Miss Vietnam 1994 Nguyen Thu Thuy will join the 25-km route. Meanwhile Nguyen
Tien Hung, crowned champion of the Vietnam Mountain Marathon 2018, will compete
in the 70-km trail with prominent names such as Hisashi Kitamura and Tomohiro
Mizukoshi from Japan, Ander Iza Rekakoetxea from Spain, Julien Petit from
France, and David Longo from Australia.
Unlike Sa Pa town in Lao Cai province and Moc Chau district in Son La province,
Pu Luong has seen few domestic and foreign tourists. The organising board has
been working with residents of the finishing location, Ban Hang village, since
2017, and helped 30 households offer homestay services for visitors during the
race.
Starting its business in Vietnam in the 1990s, Topas Travel has provided
adventure tourism products and comfortable accommodation. Its Topas Ecolodge
was put on the National Geographic’s list of most unique lodges in the world./.
