Currently, there are nearly 5,000 athletes registered for the VPBank VnExpress Marathon Ho Chi Minh City Midnight. Nguyen Truong Phuc (39 years old - Hanoi) is one of the first runners to register. He said that last year he traveled to Ho Chi Minh City with his family to start the spring and participated in the 21km race. This year, the male runner increased the distance to 42, and also registered his wife and son to run the 5km race.
"Last year, my mother and I just traveled normally. I personally experienced running at night through the streets of Saigon. I found it different and interesting, so this year I decided to let the whole family experience spring in Ho Chi Minh City," said Mr. Phuc.
