Participants will compete in 70km, 42km, 21km and 10km races. Joining the 70km trail earns runners points for Asia Trail Master Championship.

The event promises to bring varied experiences for runners with jungle trails, small village roads, coffee fields and uphill and downriver sections.

“Over the past five months, we have co-ordinated with organisers to ensure that the event will be a success,” said Nguyen Tien Hai, deputy director of Da Lat Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The event is organised by the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Viet Nam Cycling and Sports Motor Federation and MTB Series Company.

After this tournament, Da Lat will host a mountain bike race, the Dalat Victory Challenge, part of the Viet Nam MTB Series 2018, on March 24-25. — VNS
