The excited atmosphere was there from early morning at the My Tho Sunset Run 2024. More than 3,000 domestic and foreign athletes excitedly entered the competition in the distances of 5 km, 10 km, 21 km and the KUN Fun Run My Tho for 800 children participating in the distance of 800 m.
Beautiful road along the Tien River
With a uniquely designed running track covered in brilliant orange sunset light shining down on Rach Mieu Bridge and the poetic Tien River on cool winter solstice days, thousands of footsteps harmonize in the sunset light to bring a memorable experience to all participants.
This year's race is designed to cross central streets and prominent locations such as Thu Khoa Huan Statue, old schools with outstanding architecture, etc. Each route is not only a challenge for athletes but also a journey to discover the rustic but vibrant beauty of My Tho city, especially under the sunset to close 2024 and start 2025 more brilliantly.
Inspirational athletes
The My Tho Sunset Run 2024 is directed and organized by the People's Committee of My Tho City and operated by the professional sports event organizer Nexus Sport Events.
