Not only an annual race, VPBank Hanoi International Marathon 2025 continues to be considered a symbol connecting the spirit of sportsmanship, culture and community of the capital.
This year's tournament brings together more than 11,000 athletes from 25 countries and territories, marking the increasingly large scale and influence of one of the most prestigious marathon events in Vietnam.
According to the representative of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, the tournament is not only a place to honor the will and endurance, but also shows the elegant, dynamic and integrated beauty of Hanoi people. The event contributes to promoting the image of the capital as a "city of green running roads" - where sports, culture and tourism blend together.
Ms. Nguyen Thuy Duong, Director of VPBank Communications & Marketing, representative of the organizing committee shared: "We hope to turn the race into a journey of sustainable prosperity, starting from health, spirit and community awareness".
This year, the program "Planting trees - Preserving water - Creating livelihoods" continues to be implemented with TreeBank. Each athlete who completes the running track will contribute 30,000 VND to the flood-proof bamboo planting project in Nghe An - a small action but has great significance for sustainable development.
In addition to the running track, the walking street around Hoan Kiem Lake becomes a vibrant space with Marathon Expo, where people and athletes experience nutrition stalls, sports equipment and gifts from nearly 30 major brands. The race kicks are personalized for each distance, demonstrating the professionalism and thoughtfulness of the organizing committee.
In particular, VPBank Prime Night music night on the evening of October 24 brought an explosive festive atmosphere with the participation of famous artists such as Ha Nhi, RHYDER, Juky San, Vu Thao My and DJ KS. Music, light and energy from tens of thousands of people have turned Hoan Kiem Lake area into a community stage - where the sportsmanship and pride of Hanoi are united.
With a methodical organization, humane spirit and long-term vision, VPBank Hanoi Marathon is affirming its position as a sustainable prosperous journey.
