THÔNG BÁO: World Trail Majors chào đón Vietnam Mountain Marathon đến với sân chơi quốc tế

Mới đây, giải chạy Vietnam Mountain Marathon (VMM) đã được chọn là thành viên thứ 12 gia nhập hệ thống World Trail Majors, cùng với những sự kiện chạy địa hình lâu đời và danh giá nhất trên thế giới. Sự kiện này khẳng định vị trí của bộ môn chạy địa hình tại Việt Nam trên trường quốc tế, thêm Sapa và Việt Nam vào danh sách những điểm đến hàng đầu dành cho những người yêu thích hoạt động này.

Việc VMM trở thành một thành viên của World Trail Majors giúp đưa Việt Nam sánh cùng các nước Úc, Canada, Pháp, Hồng Kông (Trung Quốc), Nhật Bản, Bồ Đào Nha, Nam Phi, Tây Ban Nha, Thụy Sỹ, Mỹ và Anh Quốc trong danh sách những quốc gia có giải chạy thuộc hệ thống đầy uy tín này.

World Trail Majors là liên minh phi lợi nhuận gồm 12 giải chạy hàng đầu, rất nhiều trong số đó là những sự kiện tiên phong và đã đặt nền móng cho bộ môn chạy địa hình ở nước sở tại, giống như VMM là khởi nguồn cho hoạt động chạy đua địa hình của Việt Nam khi tổ chức giải siêu địa hình đầu tiên tại Sapa vào năm 2013.

Mỗi giải chạy của World Trail Majors sẽ mang đến cho người tham gia cơ hội trải nghiệm những nét đặc sắc nhất của vùng miền đó, được dẫn dắt bởi đội ngũ những người giàu kinh nghiệm, tràn đầy nhiệt huyết và có chung mục tiêu tổ chức những sự kiện chạy địa hình tuyệt vời nhất.

Trong số những giải chạy ấy có thể kể đến Black Canyon Ultras presented by Hoka (Mỹ), RMB Ultra-trail Cape Town (Nam Phi), MIUT-Madeira Island Ultra-Trail (Bồ Đào Nha) và The North Face Transgrancanaria (Tây Ban Nha). Cùng với Việt Nam, có hai giải chạy khác tại khu vực châu Á là Mount Fuji 100 (Nhật Bản) và Anta Hong Kong 100 (Hồng Kông) cũng nằm trong liên mình.

Chúng tôi tin rằng việc Vietnam Mountain Marathon được chào đón gia nhập vào World Trail Majors không chỉ là thành tựu của riêng đội ngũ Topas, mà còn là thành công chung của cộng đồng yêu thích chạy địa hình tại Việt Nam, và là niềm tự hào dân tộc trên trường quốc tế.

Sapa’s Vietnam Mountain Marathon (VMM) has been accepted to the exclusive list of just 12 races on the World Trail Majors circuit, alongside some of the most historical and prestigious ultra trail events worldwide. This puts Vietnam’s trail running firmly on the global stage, establishing it as one of the premium mountain running destinations in the world.

With the inclusion of Vietnam Mountain Marathon as part of the The World Trail Majors, Vietnam now sits alongside Australia, Canada, France, Hong Kong/China, Japan, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, the U.S.A and the United Kingdom as nations with a race in this prestigious group.

World Trail Majors is a non-profit alliance of 12 emblematic events, many of which first laid the seeds of trail running in their respective nations, just as Vietnam Mountain Marathon kick started trail racing in Vietnam when it became the first ever ultra trail race in the country, back in 2013.

Some of the key races Vietnam Mountain Marathon is now aligned with include the USA’s Black Canyon Ultras presented by Hoka; South Africa’s RMB Ultra-trail Cape Town; Portugal’s MIUT-Madeira Island Ultra-Trail and Spain’s The North Face Transgrancanaria. Alongside VMM, two other Asian races are on the circuit: Japan’s Mount Fuji 100 and the Anta Hong Kong 100.

We hope that the Vietnam Mountain Marathon being welcomed into the World Trail Majors is not just seen as an achievement of the Topas organising team, but also of the trail community in Vietnam.
