Vietnam Mountain Marathon 2014

Vietnam Mountain Marathon 2014 will be on September 20, 2014 at Sapa, Vietnam.  Following the success of the first Vietnam Mountain Marathon in 2013, the event is set to return this year. It offers unique trail runs of 21km, 42km and 70km in the stunning rice terrace-clad mountains surrounding Sapa. September is the most beautiful time of year to visit these northern hills – the rice fields will be bursting with colour and the harvest season will be in full swing. With an expected field of 400 runners, this will be the largest mountain marathon ever seen in Vietnam. Competitors from Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, France, Denmark, Hong Kong, Brunei, England, and Switzerland have already signed up.

Vietnam’s Ly A Song, winner of the 2013 21km race, is set to return to defend his title, while Simon Grimstrup of Denmark will be looking to keep his 70km crown.
Set in the beautiful mountain ranges of Hoang Lien National Park, runners can expect an extraordinary adventure along twisting, buffalo-beaten trails. The route will take them across bamboo bridges and through small villages where colorfully dressed ethnic minorities will be out in force to cheer them on.

This is a pristine corner of Vietnam that is usually completely closed to all but the few ethnic minority people who live there, so running in the area will be a true privilege for all involved.
