After 5 years, Tay Ho Half Marathon is not only a prestigious half marathon race, but also a part of Hanoi sports history.

According to Ms. Bui Thi Lan Phuong - Vice Chairman of Tay Ho District People's Committee, Head of the Organizing Committee, "Tay Ho Half Marathon 2025 Powered by Thanh Xuan Valley is not only a race, but also a journey connecting the history, culture and sporting spirit of Hanoi". With the running route passing through places with strong heritage imprints such as Quan Thanh Temple, Tran Quoc Pagoda, Tay Ho Palace, Nhat Tan peach village, every step touches the stories of Thang Long, a thousand years old.

In its 5th year, the race has undergone a major change, from the optimized route to the total prize value of 130,000,000 VND in cash and hundreds of millions of gifts. The Tay Ho Half Marathon 2025 finisher medal is also uniquely designed, with a brilliant five-petal flower shape, symbolizing Tay Ho 5 seasons - Tay Ho 5 seasons of flowers. The race will officially take place on April 11-13, 2025.

Nguyen Thi Oanh, who just won her 9th 5km title at Tien Phong Marathon 2025, will also participate in Tay Ho Half Marathon 2025 with Nguyen Trung Cuong, Luong Duc Phuoc and Doan Thu Hang.
