Race review
Set for the 29-30 August 2026 weekend in Hue — Vietnam's ancient imperial capital — this BOLT EVENT production is part of the Amazing Marathon Vietnam Series. Four distances with registration open.
Last updated August 9, 2026
The Hue Amazing Marathon brings a full marathon to Vietnam's most culturally significant city — the former imperial capital with its UNESCO-listed Citadel, the Perfume River, and the royal tombs of the Nguyen Dynasty. Produced by BOLT EVENT as part of the Amazing Marathon Vietnam Series, it offers a race-weekend format across two days. August in Hue is the tail of the summer season — warm but the city's tree-lined boulevards provide some shade. For runners wanting a Vietnamese marathon with genuine cultural depth beyond the big-city races, this is a standout.
