The 2024 Ha Long Heritage International Marathon marks the 10th anniversary of its first edition in 2014.
The race has distances of 5km, 10km, half marathon (21km) and full marathon (42.195km). The race offers a unique experience as athletes conquer the running route along the shore of Ha Long Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay heritage sites, through a 235m long mountain tunnel.
Stunning scenery and exciting challenges have made the event a standout in the international marathon scene.
This year, the event was especially honored to have the participation of Mr. Francisco Paco Borao, President of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS), who signed the certificate for runners who achieved the Sub 3 and Sub 3.30 performance standards in the full marathon distance.
Top runners also have the opportunity to use their results to register for the Abbott World Marathon Majors, including New York, Chicago, London, Boston, Tokyo and Berlin.
The Ha Long Heritage International Marathon was voted by Runner's World UK Magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful running courses in the world and meets AIMS standards, making Ha Long a favorite destination for the global runner community.
The event not only contributes to promoting the image and tourism of Ha Long - Quang Ninh but also affirms Vietnam's position on the world marathon map.
At the end of the tournament, the Organizing Committee awarded First, Second and Third prizes in each distance to athletes with high achievements, concluding a successful season.
