VnExpress Marathon Nha Trang runner reviews and race reports

Stories from runners who've been there.

From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.

Race reports: 1
Thuận BùiRan in 2022 · Finish time 1:56:26
“I finished the race in 1 hour, 56 minutes, and 26 seconds.”

Thuận Bùi treated the early crowding at the Nha Trang Half as a chance to warm up slowly, then picked up the pace after the mid-course hills. They ran low on energy late in the race but finished safely, and noted that the instructions for picking up the finisher shirt fell short.
