Trail race «Cu Chi City Trail 2027»

   Four distances in one morning, the longest a full 42 km marathon, and all of them run on mixed ground: part trail, part road. That is the formula of the City Trail series, and at Củ Chi it is laid over the so-called land of steel.

   Distances and format:

• — 7 km, 10 km, 21 km and 42 km — from a beginner's distance to a full marathon;
• — the course mixes trail and road within a single race, the signature of the City Trail Series;
• — the start is from 04:00, in the dark and the cool — a necessity for long distances in the south;
• — assembly and finish at the Củ Chi Culture Centre;
• — the price list is marked «being updated» and is not published yet.

   The City Trail Series is built for weekend races right next to big cities: trail surface without the long drive. Củ Chi sits about an hour from central Ho Chi Minh City, so both the 42 km and the 7 km fit inside a single morning.

   The area is known for its tunnel network — a special national heritage site, the «city underground» of two wars. The organisers put the course here deliberately, and for a runner it is a chance to meet that ground on foot rather than along a tour route.
