The sporting event aims to raise public awareness about the benefits of sports in protecting health and improving quality of life; as well as to build a healthy lifestyle and cultural environment, and promote the movement of mass sports.

At the same time, it will help develop tourism products, and introduce the beauty of Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang beaches to domestic and international tourists.

The Son Tra Heritage Marathon is expected to be held in the second quarter of each year during the 2023-2030 period.

The start and end dates will have a specific plan each year to match reality. The organisation of the race must ensure safety, solemnity and thoughtful preparation in all aspects, thereby creating an exciting atmosphere among people from walks of life. Participating runners must have a sense of discipline and strictly abide by the regulations of the organisers.

Accordingly, the Son Tra Heritage Marathon will comprise 4 races: 5km, 10km, 21km and 42km for both men and women.

It will be open to professional athletes at both home and abroad, mass athletes, running lovers from the city and other localities nationwide, and tourists.
