It will be held at the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism in Dong Mo, Ba Vi, Hanoi, from 30/10 to 1/11.

Competitors will tackle a diverse range of challenges across four distinct categories. As in previous years, the categories include: Basic Pickup, Basic SUV, Advanced, and Professional. The event will feature a total of 24 tracks, mirroring the VOC 2025 season, comprising 23 main tracks and one night track, known as "Adventure".
