The fourth season of VnExpress Marathon Ho Chi Minh City Midnight will maintain its standards, including a lighting system covering the entire route and a race-kit comprising a bib, event shirt, and finisher shirt for 21km and 42km athletes. Further event details will be announced soon.
Similar to the Hanoi Midnight Run, the VnExpress Marathon Ho Chi Minh City Midnight offers runners a chance to explore Vietnam's largest city by night. The planned route passes iconic landmarks such as Tao Dan Park, Independence Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Nguyen Hue Walking Street.
Last year, the event attracted 12,000 runners, including international participants. Held right after Tet Nguyen Dan (Lunar New Year), it provides an opportunity for runners to meet fellow enthusiasts and kick off the new racing season.
