A race in Hanoi city

According to the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, this year, the city People's Committee has approved the organization of 8 races. Each Marathon and Half Marathon attracts from 10,000 to 17,000 runners and about 1,300 to 1,500 people participate in organizing and operating the race.

The Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports believes that the races bring about local economic impacts, while also contributing to promoting the image of the capital to domestic and international friends. However, there are still some limitations such as the races starting and finishing in the inner city, so the road closures are prolonged.

"Although the opening and closing of the race were organized flexibly, there were still some points where volunteers were not flexible and did not guide people to alternative routes, causing frustration for some residents in the inner-city districts. At the starting area, although the sound was only used to make announcements and guide the athletes to start, it still created noise in the area" - the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism stated.

According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the communication work of the organizing unit and the districts where the route passes through has been carried out but is still not effective, so some people have not been proactive in their work and daily life.

Based on the results of organizing the Marathon and Half Marathon this year, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism submitted to the Hanoi People's Committee a plan to organize 8 races in 2025. Accordingly, the 2025 races will be arranged with a gap of about 15-20 days between each race, except for the cases of district-level races and routes that do not affect central districts. Along with that, the races must organize early departure times, ensuring that all routes are fully returned to the people before 8:00 a.m.

Gradually raise the marathon time standards to shorten the road closure period. Road closures without alternative routes must be opened and closed flexibly.

According to the Department of Culture and Sports, it will assess the organizational capacity of the units, the race route, forecast pressing issues for the people, and orientate the control of the number of participants corresponding to the scale of the race route and traffic and health solutions. In addition, the authorities will strengthen communication work about prohibited routes to each residential group and residential area where the race route passes, so that people can be proactive in their activities and have alternative plans.

Ms. Vu Thu Ha, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee, agreed with this policy of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
