Facts last checked August 25, 2026

The Danang International Marathon 2027 takes place on 21 March 2027 in Da Nang, Vietnam, offering three distance options: a full marathon (42.195 km), a half marathon (21 km), and a 10 km race. Runners of varying experience levels can choose the distance that suits them best, all set against the coastal city of Da Nang.

The bottom line

The Da Nang International Marathon runs through Vietnam's central coastal hub -- historically home to Da Nang Bay (formerly Tourane Bay) and a significant regional university system (University of Da Nang, established 1994). Three distances (10K/21K/42K) with a specific, confirmed registration-opening date (8 July 2026) give runners genuine planning clarity, similar to the Bangkok Marathon's clearly announced nationwide registration date covered elsewhere in this research. That specificity is a meaningful advantage over the many races in this batch with entirely unconfirmed registration timing.

A Marathon on Vietnam's Central Coast

The Da Nang International Marathon offers three distances -- 10K, 21K and the 42.195K full marathon -- in Da Nang, Vietnam. ^[1] Da Nang is a major coastal city in Central Vietnam, historically significant during the Vietnam War era, home to Da Nang Bay (formerly known as Tourane Bay under French colonial administration) and a substantial regional university system.

A Region With Deep Educational and Historical Roots

The University of Da Nang, established on 4 April 1994, is a major multi-disciplinary regional university system serving Central Vietnam -- giving the city genuine institutional infrastructure beyond its coastal tourism appeal. ^[2] Da Nang's history as a former air base and military-significant port during the Vietnam War era also gives the city a layer of historical depth for travellers interested in the region's 20th-century history.
