Published: 01/10/2009 05:00
| The 2009 Vietnam Super Marathon & Trek began in the central city of Da Nang on Thursday with 91 competitors from 20 countries setting off on the 91-kilometer, 3-day journey. |
Contestants are now vying for the lead as the event takes them through in and out of Da Nang and Quang Nam and Thua Thien-Hue city provinces, including visits to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Hoi An, a historic trading port town, and the My Son Towers. Organizers had to change the route and schedule of the race due to storm Ketsana, cutting one day off the original 4-day, 100-km competition. On Thursday, the contestants ran 36km from Pham Van Dong Street in Da Nang to the Son Tra Peninsula, followed by a 35km race on Friday from Xuan Thieu Tourist Area in Lien Chieu District to Lang Co Town in Thua Thien Huw. The race finishes with a 20km run on Saturday from Furama Hotel in Da Nangâs Son Tra District to the Palm Garden Hotel in the town of Hoi An, Quang Nam Province. Source: The Thao & Van Hoa |
