As you lace up your shoes for this exciting event, you’ll find yourself weaving past historic landmarks and architectural wonders that tell the story of Ho Chi Minh City's evolution from Saigon to its current status as a thriving urban center. The marathon route is designed to highlight key sites such as the Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica, the War Remnants Museum, and the Reunification Palace.
