Frequently asked questions

Does Lao Cai Marathon 2026 include a full marathon?

No. Despite its name, the 2026 event offers three distances: 5.5 km, 10.5 km and 21 km. The longest is a half marathon that the organisers describe as running along the Red River where it first enters Vietnam, with a stop at a national border marker along the way.

How much does Lao Cai Marathon 2026 cost?

The late-tier prices shown on the event page are 850,000 VND for the 5.5 km and 1,250,000 VND for the 21 km. That price table does not show a figure for the 10.5 km, so runners interested in that distance should confirm the price directly with the organiser, Viet Jungle Co., Ltd.
