Organizers announced that the Kun Marathon course will be set up at Song Hau Park, the same starting point for the VnExpress Marathon Can Tho the following morning. The race promises to offer a vibrant and energetic playground for children in the Mekong Delta region.
Young runners will conquer a nearly 1 km course with fun challenges like bouncy houses, inflatable obstacles, climbing walls, and tunnels, all tailored to their physical abilities and interests. Children who complete the race will receive medals to acknowledge their efforts, while top performers will receive additional prizes.
Alongside the main race, the event will feature other exciting activities such as Kun jelly slides, interactive mini-games, and activity areas like "Strong Race Track," "Super Kun Hands," and "Super Memory."
Children will also have the opportunity to meet and interact with the event’s guest list, including key opinion leaders (KOLs) such as Be Sun, Duy Anh, Hao Khang, Trong Thy, Meo Simmy, and Phong Can.
Starting 4/9, parents and children participated in mini-games to secure early race entries. The official registration portal opened at 3 PM on 5/9, offering the remaining 1,000 bibs for free. Race kits, including shirts and hats categorized by age, will be distributed starting at 8 AM on 12/9 at Song Hau Park, the race venue.

The program aims to be more than just a sporting event; it aspires to be a cultural gathering point that fosters community bonds and promotes a healthy and joyful lifestyle among children. Throughout its journey in major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, Da Nang, Ha Long, and most recently Nha Trang, the Kun Marathon has consistently generated significant interest, with thousands of parents registering within minutes.
The event is expected to be a memorable experience for thousands of children in the Mekong Delta during the back-to-school season, helping them improve their physical fitness and fostering a healthy competitive spirit. The race also aims to energize children for an enthusiastic start to the new school year.
