The results were released after organizers verified data and removed accounts flagged for cheating. vRace's "Cheat Detected" system identifies unusual activity, placing suspicious accounts on a "blacklist" for review. This ensures fairness for all participants.
The virtual race, held from 24/7 to 24/8, was co-organized by vRace and Herbalife in conjunction with the VnExpress Marathon Libera Nha Trang 2025. It provided a training opportunity for sports enthusiasts nationwide, allowing them to accumulate mileage and promote an active lifestyle.
The focus was on encouraging regular exercise and preparing for the main race, rather than competitive performance. Participants could run or walk at paces between 4 and 18 minutes/km, with each session requiring a minimum of 1 km and a maximum of 45 km daily, limited to three sessions per athlete per day.
Participants could track their progress based on distance (10 km = 10 points) or calories burned (10 calories = 1 point), ensuring inclusivity for diverse fitness levels. Accumulated points could be redeemed for rewards on the vRace platform.
Herbalife, founded in 1980, served as the official nutrition partner for the event. The company provides nutrition products and operates in over 90 markets through its network of distributors.
vRace, developed by FPT Online in 2020, is an online sports platform that integrates with Strava and Garmin, or directly through vRace Connect, to collect running, cycling, and swimming data. It offers a virtual alternative for busy individuals who cannot participate in offline events but still want to train and challenge themselves.
