Course description
This Half Mountain Marathon is very hard. For the first time in 2022 it will begin in Sapa town and then go uphill right away across the Ham Rong mountain giving you incredible views from early on in the course.
You will see beautiful valleys, local ethnic minority villages, streams, forest and high mountain views.
After the first climb onto the trails 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.
