To help participants arrange their travel schedules, organizers have set up two locations for bib and race kit distribution. On 29/4, runners can collect their items from 1 PM to 6 PM at the Vinhomes Office, located within Vincom Mega Mall Thao Dien, 161 Vo Nguyen Giap Street, Thao Dien Ward, Ho Chi Minh City.

On 30/4, bib distribution will extend from 9 AM to 7 PM at Dai Lo Thoi Dai, Vinh Tien area, within the Vinhomes Green Paradise project in Can Gio district, Ho Chi Minh City.

Providing two collection points offers runners greater flexibility. Those living and working in the inner city can pick up their race kits early at Thao Dien, while participants traveling to Can Gio closer to race day can complete procedures directly at the event venue.

To ensure a smooth bib collection process, organizers advise runners to arrive early. This helps avoid crowds during the later hours. Early collection also provides more time to check information, review race kits, and promptly address any errors. Runners should prepare their registration QR code and identification documents to save time during check-in.

The VnExpress Marathon Green Paradise Can Gio 2026 will take place on 1/5. The race guides runners through coastal roads and characteristic mangrove forests. All distances are expected to start and finish in the coastal area of the 2,870 ha Vinhomes Green Paradise ecological township. This vast, seaside location will provide runners with cool breezes for most of the race.

Leaving the township, the route will guide runners through famous green roads like Duyen Hai and Rung Sac. The course design features very few turns or U-turns, consisting mostly of straight and flat roads. This allows runners to maintain a steady pace and aim for personal bests.
