The Hoiana Aquaman 2026 event will take place on 26/7. Approximately 2,000 athletes are expected to converge on Hoiana Resort & Golf during the event days. Organizers consider this location to be one of the most ideal in the central region for hosting the swim-run competition.

A key factor is the long and private coastline. Athletes will compete under secure conditions, as only participants with bibs, security personnel, and event organizers can access the beach area.

The swim course this year is highly regarded by many athletes as appealing and favorable. The Nam Hoi An sea area features moderate waves and minimal undertows. The longest swim distances, 2 km and 1 km, are arranged in a triangular shape. An interesting aspect is that athletes can experience three types of waves—headwind, tailwind, and crosswind—during their journey across the sea.

After completing the swim segment, athletes will exit the beach and proceed to the transition area, which is expected to be located within the project's grounds.

The event's run course utilizes high-quality, spacious internal roads. Organizers state that this area has low traffic density, allowing for road closures to ensure 100% safety for athletes.

Athletes running on the internal roads can appreciate the pristine beauty of the Nam Hoi An area. The early morning sun and sea breeze also add to the enjoyment of the journey.

Leaving the internal area, athletes will run on the main traffic artery connecting Nam Hoi An with the ancient town area.

Residential areas and green spaces line both sides of the road. Athletes can enjoy the fresh early morning air. From a technical perspective, the long, straight road allows athletes to optimize their speed due to fewer turns and U-turns.

In addition to the competition experience, athletes and their families can stay directly at Hoiana Resort & Golf. The resort offers special discounted rates for athletes. On-site accommodation reduces travel time and provides convenience for athletes to participate in the event's side activities.

Hoiana Aquaman has expanded its competition distances. Alongside the individual Aquaman (2 km swim, 21 km run), Half Aqua, Sprint Aqua, and Aqua Kid categories, this season introduces Flash Aqua (200 m swim, 2 km run), Rush Aqua (300 m swim, 2 km run), Half Aqua Relay, and Sprint Aqua Relay for the first time.

Registration for the Regular phase is currently open with a limited number of bibs. The registration portal may close earlier than scheduled if the expected capacity is reached.
