Marathon «Bắc Sơn Marathon - Ná Nhèm Festival 2027»

   Run a marathon in the middle of a Tày ethnic spring festival — something no other race in Vietnam offers. On 21 February 2027 the Bac Son valley in Lang Son province hosts both the Ná Nhèm festival and a road race: runners move through full festival atmosphere, with the chance to see Tàng Thinh and Mặt Nguyệt — the festival's sacred fertility symbols paraded to pray for good harvests.

   Bac Son itself is famous for its rice-field valley framed by limestone ridges, long considered one of northern Vietnam's most photographed landscapes; the course runs right through this scenery, about 160 km northeast of Hanoi.

   Distances:

   — 42km and 21km
— 15km and 7km

   The start gun fires at 05:00 on 21.02.2027. The organizer — the VBM race system — promises deliberately budget-friendly bib prices; the exact price table has not been published yet, and registration opens on the VBM platform.

   It suits runners who want to open their 2027 season with a rare cultural experience, and families combining the race with a spring trip to Lang Son.

   A start line in the middle of a spring festival — that is not an offer you get twice a year.
