Among the 5K, 10K, half marathon (21km) and full marathon (42km) runs, athletes participating in 21K and 42K runs accounted for 48%, showing that the running movement has increasingly spread, and the wellness and toughness of runners have been significantly raised.
VnExpress Hue Marathon 2020 is considered a festival for many running groups such as Hue Citadel Runners (217 registered members), SACOM 142 (142 registered members), Laguna (106 registered members) and thousands of athletes from Ha Noi, Da Nang Runners, Sunday Running Club, etc., and international athletes.
Besides the start and finish lines of all 4 types of run being set between Phu Van Lau and Nghenh Luong Dinh, 2 famous relics of the Nguyen Dynasty, with the message "The Flavor Trail", athletes also enjoyed amazing experiences on the morning of December 27th when crossing the tree-lined roads and many famous monuments of the Ancient Capital, such as Quoc Hoc High School for Gifted Students, Thien Mu Pagoda and the 3 bridges connecting the North and South banks of the Perfume River: Trang Tien, Da Vien and Phu Xuan, etc.
