Vietnam's First Professional Marathon

2013

The Danang International Marathon began in 2013, and in 2014 the city described it as Vietnam's first professional marathon and the 97th official member of AIMS. The second edition was held on 31 August 2014, and the organisers then planned it for the last Sunday of August each year. The 2014 courses were measured and certified by IAAF-AIMS for the marathon, half marathon and a 5 km fun run.

From August to March

2026

Early editions were held on the last Sunday of August. The race has since moved to March, and the 2026 edition on 22 March was held in celebration of the 51st anniversary of Da Nang's reunification day on 29 March. The marathon itself now starts at 03:00.
