African runners' powerful strides at VM Hanoi Midnight

Kipruto Kemboi, Takele Kure, and Samuel Kalalei showcased distinct leg-swing styles, yet all executed clean, short landings while maintaining stable upper bodies.

The VnExpress Marathon Hanoi Midnight 2025 Powered by Puma took place in the early morning of 30/11, attracting 10,000 athletes. This event marked five years of VnExpress Marathon's presence in the capital city. The redesigned route allowed runners to experience Hanoi's blend of ancient and modern charm, passing iconic landmarks such as Ho Guom, the Old Quarter, the Grand Opera House, and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, all amidst the cool, crisp air of early winter.

This year, Puma sponsored the race, bringing the message "Go Wild Hanoi". This encouraged runners to embrace the joy of running, enhance their experience on the course, and appreciate the beauty of the capital's streets at midnight.
