About the Ha Giang Discovery Marathon
Race Jungle combines the Discovery Marathon road races with Ultra Trail Ha Giang in one mountain weekend. The 42 km trail remains a distinct full-distance product among several road and ultra options.
Course
The marathon-length trail crosses the rugged Ha Giang highlands around Meo Vac. Expect sustained climbing, descending and uneven mountain footing rather than a flat road-marathon profile.
Race-day weather
Early April in the northern Vietnam mountains can bring a cool start, strong sun, mist or rain within the same day. Wet rock and trail surfaces can become slick quickly.
