Vietnam Ultra Marathon 2024

The 50k follows the same course as our 70k, simply removing the first 20k. This beautful ultra route has a high percentage of trail through a wide variety of stunning landscapes. You will begin deep in Mai Chau, already far from where most people ever venture. Soon after the start you run onto great trail before climbing up to the fabled land of Hang Kia, where Hmong communities live not far from the border with Laos. For many years, this area was completely off the tourist map. Now you can run here and discover another side of Mai Chau. From the highest point of the race, the route follows trails from valley to valley, each with its own stunning landscape. You will pass through an abandoned village and through ancient forest. Singe track trails weave along valley floors and traverse hill sides. The last section is brings you down to the quintessential beauty of the main Mai Chau valley. Here we will have a finish line in the heart of the community, with music, fire, food and the good trail vibes our races are famous for. We look forward to welcoming you to Vietnam Ultra Marathon first edition on The Trails of Mai Chau.
