VnExpress Marathon will be held for the first time in the northern port city of Hai Phong on December 17, 2023, with an expected scale of 8,000 runners.

VnExpress Marathon Hai Phong has four distances: 5km, 10km, 21km and 42km, taking runners through iconic landmarks

Like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong has a large, fast-growing running community. Hai Phong has about 600 streets in seven downtown districts, which are favorable to create an impressive running route. Well preserved architectural works built from the French colonial period and famous culinary culture will add attraction to the race.

Hai Phong is easily reached via Hanoi – Hai Phong highway, or Cat Bi Airport which connects directly with Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Da Lat, Can Tho, Quy Nhon, Dong Hoi and some cities in the Central Highlands such as Pleiku and Buon Ma Thuot.

Like other tournaments in the VM system, VM Haiphong will offer runners full support in medical care, drinking water, and security on the route.
