01 — WHO WE ARE
Born to race in Vietnam
Race Vietnam is not a single race. It's a movement that turned Vietnam into Southeast Asia's most exciting endurance playground.
Since 2013 • Hanoi → SaigonRunner at sunrise Vietnam

We build races where others see postcards.

Founded in Hanoi by a crew of marathoners, trail freaks and ex-pro cyclists, Race Vietnam started with 340 runners on a rainy West Lake loop. Today we welcome 28,000+ athletes from 72 countries every season — from first-time 5K joggers to UTMB-ranked ultra elites.

Our courses cross UNESCO bays, imperial citadels, coffee highlands and Mekong floating markets. Every event is chip-timed, internationally certified, with medical teams, live tracking, Vietnamese street-food aid stations and zero-plastic refill zones.

✓ AIMS certified
Accurate, measured courses for Boston & Berlin qualifiers.
✓ UTMB Index
Sapa 70K & 100K give UTMB Stones.
✓ Green racing

More than medals: we fund 14 rural schools, plant 1 tree per bib, and train 300+ local race crew each year. When you run with us, the whole village runs with you.
