The VJM 12km is perfect for newer trail runners.
You will see many of the beautiful landscapes of the famously stunning Vietnam Jungle Marathon trails, but you will not see the famously hard VJM climbs!
Beginning on the old 15C road with magnificent, broad views of jungle and limestone mountains you will soon begin descending down to the valley floor on the trail that inspired us to call this race the Wonder Trails.
Here you will pass through small, peaceful minority villages sharing the trail with locals, buffalos, cows and pigs.
You will run during rice harvest season so the fields will be alive with activity and full of golden rice.
