The Techcombank Ho Chi Minh City International Marathon offers participants the chance to take over the streets of one of the world’s most vibrant cities for a day! Take part in one of the most iconic races in Southeast Asia and explore Vietnam’s largest city while you race with competitors from around the country and, indeed, the world.
This race across Ho Chi Minh City follows a route passing numerous historic landmarks, before finishing with vantage points to view the spectacular city skyline as your backdrop. The memories you make will last well beyond the point you cross the finish line.
Runners will have four distances to choose from in this event: 42.195km, 21.1km, 10km, 5km held on Sunday. In addition to the four race categories, there will also be a Kids Run held on Saturday.
In 2019, nearly 13,000 runners joined last year’s edition of the biggest marathon event in Vietnam.

Great to be able to run in the town I live with my daughter! Boring route, but well organised, be great to one day have a run through the city centre and to have a full marathon.
