Quy Nhon is the 10th race in the VnExpress Marathon system in 2026, and the 6th coastal city race, following Can Gio, Da Nang, Phan Thiet, Nha Trang, and Vung Tau.
The biggest difference for VnExpress Marathon Quy Nhon 2026 is the temporary suspension of the 42km distance to test a new organizational model, focusing resources on the remaining three distances. This season, the race also moved from June to September. According to the organizers, the June heat is unfavorable for runners, while September offers more favorable weather conditions.
