Many female athletes donned traditional ao dai and ancient costumes when collecting their bibs for the VnExpress Marathon Hue 2026 on 17-18/4, adding a poetic charm to the event.
Hue views the VnExpress Marathon as a distinctive cultural and sports event, mobilizing over 900 personnel to support the race on the morning of 19/4, according to city People's Committee leaders.
Runners participating in the VnExpress Marathon Hue 2026 will have the opportunity to traverse numerous structures integral to the history and identity of the ancient capital, including: Hue Imperial City, Truong Tien Bridge, and Quoc Hoc High School.
The imperial city's rich, flavorful cuisine, with its many spices, could cause digestive issues for runners on race day if not consumed in moderation and with careful selection.
From court dances and heritage sites to the iconic parasol tree, VnExpress Marathon Hue medals tell various stories of the ancient capital through each season.
