The Super Early Bird phase often attracts a large number of runners due to the lowest fees and a long preparation period before race day. Early registration allows amateur athletes to proactively develop training plans and arrange travel and accommodation economically. This trend has been observed in many races within the VnExpress Marathon system.
Last season, VnExpress Marathon Hue recorded over 8,500 runner registrations in just three weeks of Super Early Bird sales. Similarly, for VnExpress Marathon HCMC Midnight, taking place this 22/3, this phase attracted about 9,000 runners, accounting for a large portion of the total 13,000 participants.
Hue is one of the most culturally rich destinations in the VnExpress Marathon system. The race course passes through the city center and routes around the Imperial City, where runners can experience the pace of life in the ancient capital and the scenery along the Perfume River.
Beyond the race experience, many athletes combine their trip with exploring Hue, visiting sites such as: Dai Noi, Thien Mu Pagoda, Minh Mang Tomb, Khai Dinh Tomb, cruising the Perfume River, Truong Tien Bridge, and enjoying local specialties like: bun bo Hue, com hen, banh beo, banh nam, and banh khoai.
Since its inaugural event in 2020, VnExpress Marathon Hue has become a familiar rendezvous point for the running community, both domestic and international. It also contributes positively to local tourism. Last year's season coincided with Hung Kings' Commemoration Day (4/4-7/4), when the city welcomed about 109,000 tourists and runners during the event week, with estimated tourism revenue reaching 221 billion VND.
