Night run «Nha Trang Night Run Sanest, Sanvinest – BKH 2026»

   Running the seafront after the city switches its lights on — the promenade along Vietnam's best-known bay unrolls in neon, surf noise and warm sea wind. This is the second edition, and the demand has already spoken for itself in numbers.

   Entries opened at 9am on 21 August 2026, and within 120 minutes more than 2,000 runners had signed up; Báo Khánh Hòa calls it a record for a Vietnamese road race in recent years. The Khánh Hòa Salanganes Nest company alone entered 1,500 employees in the 5 km.

   How race day runs:

• — 08:00–17:00 — race kit collection and expo stalls
• — 16:00–18:00 — opening ceremony and live performances
• — 19:00 — 21 km start
• — 19:30 — 10 km start
• — 20:00 — 5 km start
• — 21:30 / 22:00 / 22:30 — course closes for 5 km, 10 km and 21 km

   The flash sale closed on the morning of 24 August; the Early Bird phase runs to 5 October at 350,000 ₫ for 5 km, 450,000 ₫ for 10 km and 600,000 ₫ for the half. Regular pricing follows from 6 October and Late from 31 October, topping out at 1,000,000 ₫.

   It suits recreational runners who want a comfortable distance in a festival atmosphere, serious ones who use the half as their end-of-year marker, and visitors already in Nha Trang that week — you need shoes and a free evening, nothing more.

   The race carries the message «Tình yêu biển đảo», love for the sea and islands, and part of the proceeds funds eye surgery for low-income patients. It is organised by the Khánh Hòa provincial newspaper and broadcaster, operated by VietRace365, with title sponsorship from the Khánh Hòa Salanganes Nest company and its Sanest and Sanvinest brands.

   A night race by the sea feels nothing like a dawn one, and if you want a year-end event that is both enjoyable and useful, this is a clear pick.
