Global Gate Halong ESG++ Marathon 2026

According to the Organizing Committee, the running route has been designed around the modern infrastructure at Global Gate Ha Long, combining urban spaces, scenery along the bay, and wide, open roads.

The 21 km, 10 km, and 3 km races will take place within Global Gate Ha Long. The 42 km marathon, meanwhile, will extend through the Tuan Chau Island area, creating a route that connects urban spaces, the sea, and the scenery of Ha Long Bay.

The route has been designed to help runners maintain a steady pace, with minimal elevation changes and sharp turns. This will support runners in managing their stamina, executing their race strategies, and aiming to improve their personal bests.

During the event, race routes will be subject to traffic restrictions or secured with safety barriers, helping ensure suitable racing conditions and runner safety.

With a goal of bringing together around 24,000 runners, the Global Gate Halong ESG++ Marathon 2026 will feature four distances: the 42 km Marathon, the 21 km Half Marathon, the 10 km race, and the 3 km Family Run. Through the event, the Organizing Committee hopes to create a large-scale sporting occasion while promoting a green lifestyle and raising public awareness of actions that contribute to the goal of Net Zero.

Notably, the race is intended to be a sporting event that helps promote the image of Ha Long and Quang Ninh, with their distinctive natural scenery, while conveying a message about Vietnam’s commitment to addressing climate change and pursuing sustainable development.

The Global Gate Halong ESG++ Marathon 2026 is expected to be one of Quang Ninh’s notable sporting events in October 2026, attracting large numbers of runners from Vietnam and abroad. It will help grow the running movement, develop sports tourism, and promote Quang Ninh as a “Green - Smart - Safe” destination.
