Can Tho Marathon – A Heritage Race 2022 to change Start, Finish lines
25/05/2022 - 10:07

The Can Tho Marathon - A Heritage Race 2022, one of Vietnam's most professionally organized races, will move the Start and Finish lines to the Hung Kings Temple area.

 

The move makes a major change from Luu Huu Phuoc Park, where the Organizing Committee of the Can Tho Marathon - A Heritage Race has chosen as the Start and Finish locations at the 2019 debut. In the 2020- 2021 period the race was not held due to the pandemic situation in the country.

Having chosen the Start and Finish lines at one of the most meaningful spiritual tourist destinations in the Southwestern part of Vietnam's southern region, the Organizing Committee wishes to bring runners a special experience.

Construction of Temple of Hung Kings, located on Vo Van Kiet street near Can Tho International Airport, started in June 2019 and was completed on April 6, 2022.

The main temple has the image of a bronze drum, covered by 18 bows carved with patterns from Dong Son bronze drum motifs, representing the 18 Hung Kings. In the lake surrounding the main temple there are 54 pillars, representing 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam.

Registration will start in the next few days for the race scheduled for December 4, 2022.

The Organizing Committee is looking forward to welcoming all runners back to the exciting track of the Can Tho Marathon - A Heritage Race.
