Welcome to the longest-established mountain run in Vietnam!
Organised since 2013, Vietnam Mountain Marathon is the result of a deep love of trail running and the hills of Sapa. We have grown to become one of the most prestigious trail races in Asia, warmly welcoming over 4,000 runners from up to 50 countries.
Centered around Sapa, our race takes runners high into beautiful mountains, through bamboo forests and deep into rice terraced valleys where water buffalo roam.
The course passes through many small villages of various ethnic groups who welcome runners with smiles and waves.
Prepare for an extraordinary trail and cultural adventure!

Beautiful and stunning but really I could not run 60% of the course. Others could so my issue not the course. Hand and knees climbing in parts. Getting there, camping, the sites, the people, all make for a very unique experience and a wonderful excursion on the northern mountains.
