REFLECTION – LINH BIBPIX
& VIETNAM TRAIL MARATHON
For Linh BIBPIX, Vietnam Trail Marathon is more than just a race.
It is where his journey began – as a runner, a lover of the mountains, and eventually, a photographer deeply devoted to trail running.
In the very first season of Vietnam Trail Marathon, Linh completed the 70km distance. It was not only a physical challenge, but also a defining experience that allowed him to truly feel the spirit of VTM: raw trails, breathtaking landscapes, and a genuine connection between people and the land of Moc Chau.
Moc Chau itself has long held a special place in Linh’s heart. Since 2009, he has been closely connected to this highland region – drawn to its open plateaus, its natural beauty, and the warmth and sincerity of its people. That deep bond is why every return to VTM feels less like a visit, and more like coming home.
In 2022, VTM also marked the very first collaboration between Bibpix and Topas. Built on shared values – celebrating runners’ journeys and honoring the landscapes that host them – this partnership has grown stronger with each passing season.
From being a runner on the course, Linh went on to build BIBPIX into a dedicated team of trail running photographers, capturing the most authentic moments of every race: effort, exhaustion, joy, and pride at the finish line. Today, BIBPIX is recognized as one of Vietnam’s leading trail race photography teams.
His love for Topas-organized races – from Vietnam Trail Marathon to other destinations – comes from the people, the landscapes, and the spirit behind each event.
For Linh, VTM, Moc Chau, and the mountain trails are not just places to run – they are places where real stories are told.
