«Techcombank Hanoi International Marathon 2026»

   Four road distances plus a Kids Run, every one of them on the city's most recognisable ground: Hoan Kiem Lake, West Lake, the Long Bien and Nhat Tan bridges, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. There are only a few mornings a year when those streets belong to runners instead of motorbikes.

   The fifth edition spreads across two days. Kids Run over 1.5 km and 3 km goes first, on Saturday afternoon at Vinhomes Riverside Long Biên in the east of the city; the adult field then takes on 42.195 km, 21.1 km, 10 km and 5 km, with cut-offs of 6:30, 4:00, 2:00 and 1:00 respectively.

   The 2025 season closed with more than 13,000 registered runners from 55 countries, 190,587 km covered between them and 2 billion VND raised for charity. New this year: individual entrants choose their own bib number. adidas is the official apparel partner.

   The 5 km and the Kids Run suit families and first-time bib wearers; 21 and 42 km are for anyone chasing a time on a flat, internationally measured course.

   Tier 3 entry is priced by distance: marathon 1,300,000 VND, half marathon 1,130,000, 10 km 960,000, 5 km 700,000, Kids Run 510,000. Places per distance are capped, and when one fills the system moves the whole category to the next price tier — waiting costs money here.
