HÀ NỘI - As many as 3,800 runners will take part in the Ecopark City Trail 2024 which will be held on April 20-21 in Hưng Yên Province.

Organisers have designed special routes to celebrate the tournament's fifth edition.

Instead of usual distances of 5-10-21-42km, runners will challenge themselves in 6-11-21-31km races in which the longest one will be a combination between road and trail running for the first time.

The organisers said that the interesting changes should give runners new and fresh experiences in the familiar but stunning scenery of Ecopark, the greenest urban area in the North, just 15km away from Hà Nội City centre.

Previously known as the Ecopark Marathon, the race has been renamed Ecopark City Trail this season.

According to organisers, it is held as a race-cation, the new way to exercise and travel. Participants will not simply be running but also get the amazing opportunity to see, discover and enjoy many activities such as team building, connecting with family, friends, companies, and groups. This is a race to chill and enjoy the beauty of nature.

The Ecopark City Trail is a good way to keep runners on track with their personal fitness while on vacation. Running, especially outdoors, is a great way to get exercise.

In addition to VNĐ350 million in cash and gifts for the top athletes, organisers will hold lucky draws for all participants including runners, crew and volunteers. 

Nguyễn Văn Lai and Phạm Thị Huệ won the men's and women's 21km categories last year, Đào Minh Chí and Trần Thị Duyên championed the 10km events, while Đào Minh Thiện and Bùi Thị Thu Hà took the 5km titles. VNS
