HÀ NỘI — Hoàng Nguyên Thanh and Hoàng Thị Ngọc Hoa won the second edition of the Dalat Music Night Run 2023 on June 4 in Đà Lạt City, Lâm Đồng Province.

Thanh finished first in the men's 21km class in a time of 1hr 14.44min to take his first title after failing to defend his top place at the 32nd SEA Games in Cambodia.

As usual, Thanh from Bình Phước Province was in the leading group for most of the race before he separated from the group and ran solo to the finish line.

He left his nearest rivals, Lê Hữu Lộc and Lý Nhân Tín, nearly four minutes behind.

Hoàng Thị Ngọc Hoa goes solo on the way to win the women's 21km category.

On the women's side, Hoa, also from Bình Phước, proved her ability with a time of 1:23.10. The former SEA Games bronze medallist gave no chance to Đoàn Thị Hiền and Nguyễn Thị Đường who came second and third, respectively, seven minutes behind.

In the 10km classes, Phạm Ngọc Phan and Nguyễn Thị Phương Trinh took the men's and women's golds, respectively.

In the 5km events, Da Gout K Khoa and Nguyễn Linh Chi topped the podium.
