Course description
This Half Mountain Marathon is very hard, starting off with a serious climb right from the gun! It has significant updates for 2021 with many new trail sections added.
You will see beautiful valleys, local ethnic minority villages, streams, forest and high mountain views.
The first section is a major climb and very hard on the legs, but your efforts will be rewarded with incredible views of rice terraces and Mount Fansipan (3,143m), the highest summit in Indochina.
After CP7 the infamous Silverstone climb on steep trail awaits, but your reward at the top is one of the best vistas of the course.
Then it’s time for the final hard downhill and the race to the finish line and the warm welcome from the other runners at Topas Ecolodge, located on a beautiful hilltop. Here you can relax and enjoy the feeling of triumph together with all the other mountain runners.
Expect your will be about double compared to a flat race! Therefore you must bring plenty of nutrition.
