MANULIFE DANANG INTERNATIONAL MARATHON 2023 PRESENTED BY YAMAHA
Running in Da Nang is not only to conquer your own limits but also a journey to discover the most beautiful coastal city in Vietnam. The stunning scenery on the running track with the cheers of the hospitable locals will be an unforgettable experience on every track that you run through.
EVENT DATE: AUGUST 06TH, 2023
START LINE: BIEN DONG PARK, VO NGUYEN GIAP STREET, PHUOC MY, SON TRA, DA NANG
EXPECTED WEATHER
In August, Da Nang is getting ready for autumn. The track is challenging enough for participants, with typical Central Vietnamese sunshine, but not the burning sun; instead, it is warm and sunny, with occasional light rains in the afternoon, making the atmosphere fresher and cooler.
August is no longer the peak tourist season in Da Nang, so come here before and after the race to swim, snorkel, or visit Ba Na Hill… completely.
