I completed the half-marathon this year and loved it. Great atmosphere, helpful and happy volunteers made my experience that much better. What a cool run too. Thank you Vietnam!

nice course, quite flat with a few bridges but a great finish line and saw a lot of the city...plus over 10,000 people made it very interesting! do it!

This was my first full marathon and it was a great experience. It was hot but everything was good. They need to prepare more water next time.

This was my first half marathon with the great route. The runners could see many famous symbols of the city. This also became an unforgettable memory of my life.

This is my first time to participate in this marathon. Start time is very early, but I was enjoyed.

Sometimes the rider who is NOT relative to marathon staff was driving his bike on the course. So, I hope we can ran safety by preventing such a thing next year.
