On the route running through Kiep Bac Temple of the 2 new distances of 21 and 42 km, the representative of the consulting unit organizing the Great Race Vietnam race said: "After nearly 2 months of opening the registration gate, the race recorded a record number of registered athletes of more than 1,600 people. The reason this year's race attracted many athletes is because the 2 new distances of 21 and 42 km are designed to run through the most beautiful landscapes of Chi Linh City. In addition, not being held at the same time also allows athletes to try their hand at many distances of the race."
