This year's tournament recorded a record of more than 12,000 registered athletes, surpassing all milestones from previous seasons, including 4,000 local people, and was also the first time a tournament in the system had 4,000 participants in the 5km - a distance for those new to running.
In the coastal city of Quy Nhon, this year’s tournament not only attracted domestic professional and semi-professional athletes, but also many international athletes. The competition distances included 5km, 10km, half marathon (21km) and full marathon (42km), suitable for all levels. Notably, many Independent Members and Herbalife employees also actively participated in the competition.
With high temperatures of about 28 degrees Celsius and 80% humidity, the athletes still gave their all and left many impressions at the race. The most impressive image was Victor Chepkwony, a Kenyan, who won a race in Vietnam for the first time after two missed races. In the women's category, Pham Thi Hong Le finished first after 2 hours 56 minutes 47 seconds, this result helped the runner from Binh Dinh win the championship of the system for the 15th time. The 21km distance witnessed the first crowning of Tran Duyen. After more than 10 missed races, the runner born in 2002 was able to smile with victory. VnExpress Marathon Quy Nhon 2025 recorded a total prize value of up to hundreds of millions of VND.
