The Da Nang International Marathon 2022 (DNIM 2022) is to return on March 20 after it was cancelled in 2020 and held in an online form in 2021.

DNIM 2022 promises to be exciting when racers are very eager to participate in the upcoming competition due to the fact that, in the past time, many running races have been canceled amid the complicated developments of COVID-19.

In order to create a fresh atmosphere for DNIM 2022, for the first time, the organisers are looking for a team of pacers. The pacing team are all experienced runners and will run even splits throughout the race which will help racers to achieve your target.

As stipulated by the organisers, the pacers are required to finish the 42km full marathon in a time of between 4 hours and 5 hours 15 minutes, and the 21km half marathon in between 2 hours and 2 hours 45 minutes.

In addition, the pacer must be able to exercise alone regularly, have a GPS watch or a running tracking app.

When participating in the upcoming sports event, each of pacers will receive a race kit (depending on the registered races), a medal, a uniform for pacers, and support costs. Also, they will have the opportunity to participate in training sessions with running experts and receive e-certificates after finishing the event.

The registration deadline for the pacing team is January 30.
