Sapa's Vietnam Mountain Marathon is 2020 SuperTrail
Following the forced postponement of Dalat Ultra Trail to 20/21 June 2020 - a weekend already occupied by both Moon 100 in Thailand and Echigo Country Trail in Japan, the Vietnam SuperTrail label will go to the Vietnam Mountain Marathon in Sapa this season. Nevertheless, the 100km and 70km races on the programme of the Dalat event remain points races for the Asia Trail Master Championship.
Two weeks ago, local authories in Vietnam ordered the organisational team of Dalat Ultra Trail to postpone the event as a precaution against further spreading of the corona virus in the country. As a new event date, the authorities decided on the 20/21 June weekend, causing the unfortunate clash with the other two abovementioned events.
Vietnam Mountain Marathon is of course the oldest classic trail event in the country. The 100km and 70km race categories have both been points races for the Asia Trail Master Championship and Grandmaster Quest for several years. VMM takes place in Sapa on 19/20 September this season and the SuperTrail label means all finishers on the two longest distance categories will receive 50 bonus points for the Championship. Note that - as usual - the 100K is the A -race (550 points for the winner) and the 70K is the B-race (420 points for the winner). VMM is organised by Topas, which also organises the Vietnam Jungle Marathon on 23 May.
