The remaining registration period opens at 3 PM on 21/11, offering 1,000 slots. Hanoi has consistently shown high demand for participation over many years; previous seasons often filled up within 30 to 60 minutes. Young runners come not only from Hanoi but also from neighboring provinces, making it one of the most vibrant races in the Kun Marathon series.
The organizers recommend parents access the website on devices with stable internet connections to avoid system congestion. Required information includes: the name, age, identification number, and phone number of both parents and athletes. Each account can register a maximum of five athletes, and the system will automatically close once the maximum number is reached.
Kun Marathon was first held in Hanoi in 2020 and quickly became a popular year-end event for many families. Over five years, the race has attracted tens of thousands of children and their relatives to experience the course and interactive activities. The first three seasons were held at Ho Guom before moving to the Tran Nhan Tong area, which offers a more suitable space for games and accompanying activities.
Beyond the race, children can participate in various activities such as: "Kun Jelly Slide", "Mighty Race Track", "Super Kun Hands", and "Phenomenal Memory". Artists and familiar children's personalities, including NSND Xuan Bac, Long Chun, and the Do Kim Phuc freestyle football team, have supported multiple seasons. This year, the program expects to feature appearances by popular child actors.
Kun Marathon aims to encourage physical activity and create a bonding space for families. The event has been held in many cities and provinces, including: Quang Ninh, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, Can Tho, and Hai Phong, attracting widespread community participation.
