This course is very challenging! It climbs a beautiful valley, and once you are out on the route, you'll enjoy passing by local villages, streams, and forest.

21km entrants must be at least 16 years old on race day

Come prepared for a challenging half marathon course! The first 7km climb of the run might be hard, but once you area on the top, you have a great view of thousands of rice fields 800m down in the valley. You'll now run on a rough road at the altitude of +1500m with a direct view to Fansipan, the highest summit in Indochina, before dropping down into the small rice fields paths.

In the final stage, you need to save energy to climb the second mountain via a small dirt trail, before descending to Topas Ecolodge and the finish line. Expect that your time will be about double compared to a flat race! Be sure to bring water and extra energy.
