Marathon «Giải Marathon Quốc tế Di sản Cần Thơ 2026» (Can Tho Heritage Marathon)

   The first race in the Mekong Delta with an internationally certified AIMS-standard course — and your result here can be used to enter the Abbott World Marathon Majors age-group world championship, run by the organization behind the six most prestigious marathons on the planet. Race in Can Tho, dream of Boston or Tokyo — the pathway is now real.

   The Can Tho Heritage Marathon is organized by DHA Vietnam with the Can Tho Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Vietnam Athletics Federation; the race has been part of the city's calendar since 2019. The 2026 edition takes place on Sunday 20 December, starting from Song Hau Park on the riverfront — a season the organizers rate as the year's most comfortable, at 17–22°C.

   Key facts:

   — Distances: 5km, 10km and 21km
— Entry from 295,000 VND
— Registration on ActiUp until 15.11.2026

   The pancake-flat delta roads favour personal bests for newcomers and club runners alike, and Can Tho's river life and food scene turn a race weekend into a proper trip — the city is a 3.5-hour drive or a short flight from Ho Chi Minh City.

   A morning by the Hau River, a medal, and a result the world recognizes — see you on 20 December.
