Vietnam Trail Series is the result of a genuine love of running and a fascination with Vietnam. It all started back in 2013, when we launched the Vietnam Mountain Marathon, now one of Asia’s largest trail races with more than 3,500 runners.
The original idea was to create a race way beyond the usual trail run with a route that led runners through some of Vietnam’s most beautiful scenery and create encounters with remote mountain tribes.
Our two other races, VJM and VTM were founded on the same ideals.
