AN EXTRAORDINARY MOUNTAIN TRAIL SERIES

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. 

Join us for Vietnam Trail Series races and prepare for some extraordinary adventures!

A passion for the outdoors

Vietnam Trail Series is organised by Topas Group, founded in 1973. We are passionate about the outdoors and our events are organised by adventure lovers for adventure lovers.

We founded Vietnam Mountain Marathon (VMM) in 2013 and Vietnam Jungle Marathon was added in 2017. The first Vietnam Trail Marathon in 2019 completes the Vietnam Trail Series.

Charity

Our series support development in the local area as all long distance runners donate US$20 to charitable work via their entry fee. Over the years these donations have gone to both Sapa O Chau, a local organization that provides education and vocational training for minority youths, Operation Smile, and Newborns Vietnam. Funds are also used for projects in villages along the route, for example a school house has been constructed to vastly improve the education conditions for children living in the mountains.
