Over 11,000 runners take part in Trang An Marathon 2026

The event was co-organised by the Ninh Binh Department of Culture and Sports, and VuMedia JSC (VRace).

Runners participated in four categories, namely 42 kilometers, 21 kilometers, 10 kilometers and 5 kilometers.

All courses were designed within the Trang An heritage site where runners experienced majestic and poetic natural scenery with towering mountains, lush greenery and meandering rivers.

This year’s event offered more awards to runners of different ages and different distances in a bid to inspire runners to compete fairly and acknowledge efforts of amateur runners.

A representative of the organising board said that the marathon was not only a sport event but it served as a bridge connecting culture and tourism, thus helping to develop sustainable sport tourism in Ninh Binh.

At the end of the marathon, the organisers presented prizes to winners in each category./.
