The tournament has been successfully organised in HCM City for several years. Last year HCM City Techcombank Marathon saw more than 13,000 runners taking part, 5,000 more than its first edition in 2017.
Tournament organisers decided to extend it to the capital city in 2019. However, due to COVID-19, the race was postponed for three years.
In its debut, more than 6,000 athletes will run through Hà Nội's impressive cultural tracks in full marathon, half-marathon, 10km, 5km and Kids Run (for young athletes aged 5-14), according to organisers.
Starting at the Opera House and finishing by Hoàn Kiếm Lake in the heart of the city, runners will enjoy the best sights of the capital. They will run through thousands of years of history, passing by the Old Quarter, the ancient Citadel and centuries old pagodas. They will also witness a stunning run around the peaceful shores of the expansive West Lake.
