SUMMARY:The Vietnam Trail Marathon 2019
DESCRIPTION:Vietnam Trail Marathon 2019\nWelcome to VTM\, the third race in the Vietnam Trail Series by Topas\, organisers of Vietnam Mountain Marathon and Vietnam Jungle Marathon. \nThis race takes place in Moc Chau\, an area famed for tea plantations and peach blossom orchards. The event will take place at the very height of beach blossom season\, creating a running spectacle like no other. \nTHE NEW ADVENTURE FROM TOPAS\nThe route is the result of our research deep into the hills. We have created a course which is almost entirely very runnable trail covering a huge variety of landscapes. \nYou will discover ethnic minority villages that no car can access hidden deep in rugged terrain. You will run through flower fields\, tea plantations and orchards. You will share the trails with local farmers\, horses\, donkeys\, buffalo\, wild pigs and more. \nRun Vietnam Trail Marathon and discover hidden trails\, venturing way beyond the trodden path. \nPractical Info \nRace pack collection\nTo pick up your own race kit\, you must present: \nYour Bib Number (informed by email and also available at participant list 1 week prior to the race date)\nYour ID/Passport\nYour signed indemnity.
