The race schedule for different distances was thoughtfully planned to allow runners to witness the sunrise along the Hàn River. The full marathon is set to start at 3:00 AM, the half marathon at 3:45 AM, the 10km run at 4:30 AM, and the 5km run at 5:00 AM. In late July, the sun rises around 5:15 AM in Đà Nẵng, aligning perfectly with the event’s schedule for most runners to experience the sunrise at picturesque spots like Thuận Phước Bridge, Hoàng Sa – Võ Nguyên Giáp streets, Dragon Bridge, and Trần Thị Lý Bridge.
Nguyễn Khánh Ly, a local runner, noted that the time adjustment won’t significantly impact athletes’ performance but will introduce a fresh experience. VM Đà Nẵng 2025 is currently offering Super Early Bird tickets until May 28th, with prices ranging from 390,000 VND for the 5km run to 850,000 VND for the full marathon. Group registrations can enjoy additional discounts of 5-25%. Participants, like in other VM races, will receive complimentary race kit items including a running shirt, medal, and finisher shirt for the 21km and 42km distances upon completion.
The race route, officially measured by AIMS and internationally certified, provides an excellent opportunity for runners to set personal records or accumulate points for major competitions. Water stations and race security are top-notch, setting a high standard for road races in Vietnam. As the city of Đà Nẵng gears up for VM Đà Nẵng 2025, the convergence of athletic prowess, scenic beauty, and community spirit promises an unforgettable experience for all participants and spectators alike.
