Asia’s go-to marathon

Held since 2013 in the ever-beautiful city of Da Nang the race has been enticing international runners to explore and visit this most liveable city of Vietnam.

Da Nang is located on the coast midway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and is the largest city of Central Vietnam. My Khe beach, one part of Da Nang’s 30km of pristine coastline, was voted one of the most stunning beaches on the planet by Forbes Magazine.

It is located at the central point which connects three UNESCO World Heritage sites: The Hue Imperial Citadel, Hoi An Ancient Town, and My Son Sanctuary, Da Nang is also known as home to the longest suspension bridge in Vietnam (Thuan Phuoc), the only swing bridge in Vietnam (Han River Bridge) and the marvellous Dragon Bridge, which was voted as one of the most beautiful bridges in the world. The city is full of exciting adventures to explore alongside a trip to the marathon.

Even though the city has grown rapidly in recent years Da Nang retains its refreshing and peaceful environment with nature blending harmoniously into its surroundings. The people of Da Nang are known for their friendliness and kindness to visitors. All these things come together to provide the ideal atmosphere of relaxation before and after a marathon.

The Marathon course runs along the beautiful east coastline. Both Marathon and Half Marathon cross one of the most phenomenal bridges which further enhances the allure of this “Top 3 Marathon in Southeast Asia”.

The sights and sounds in combination with the peace and fresh air make for a most memorable race in any runner’s experience. It’s definitely worth doing as one of anyone’s running milestones.
