General information

Halong Bay Heritage Marathon, one of the biggest, most professional and well-organized International Marathon in Viet Nam, is held annually on the last Saturday of November in the World’s Natural Heritages internationally recognized by UNESCO. The race aims at creating a healthy and positive environment where running enthusiasts can challenge themselves, as well as meet and share their experiences with others like them.

The special design of the track offers a unique running course across Bai Chay Bridge, the longest single span bridge in Southeast Asia.

The route continues through picturesque spots of mountains and coastal lines along the bay and beautiful fishing villages with the start and finish line at Quang Ninh Museum Library – an honored work of architecture.
