“We plan to expand specialized theme products tailored to customers’ tastes and travel purposes.” The remarks came from Won Jong-su, head of the Southeast Asia business department at Modetour, as reported by Mega Economy . In a 2019 Newspim report, Won was introduced as a team leader. The theme Modetour is offering this time is running. It places participation in an international marathon held in Dalat, a highland city in Vietnam, at the center of the trip.

Dalat Marathon schedule: November 22, the third of five festival days

VTV reports that the 5km, 10km, and 21km races covered by the package will be held on November 22 . The race runs November 20–24 as a linked event of the ‘K-Vietnam Wellness Festa & Expo in Dalat 2026’. The races take place on the third day of the five-day festival. Race kits are reportedly picked up one day earlier, on the 21st.

The event date listed on the official registration platform, Race Platform, is November 20, two days apart from VTV’s announcement. This may reflect the difference between the festival start date and the race day, but it has not been confirmed, and the platform does not show a posting date either. The date on the listing should not be used as the departure date.

Start and finish at Lam Vien Square; 5km open to age 8 and up (international age)

The race takes place in central Dalat. VTV reports that it will run around Lam Vien Square and Xuan Huong Lake, with both the start and finish planned at Lam Vien Square, according to VTV. The course runs through downtown around the lake. Time limits for each event still need to be checked against the final race rules.

Participant age by event (per launch report)

Event	Age requirement	Race day
5km	Age 8 and up (international age)	November 22
10km	Age 14 and up (international age)	November 22
21km	Age 14 and up (international age)	November 22

The ages above come from the launch report and have not yet been checked against the original final race rules. The distance for the family event differs by source. VTV listed the Family Run distance as 1.2 km, but the co-organizer VTV8 lists it as 1.5 km, a 0.3 km difference. The Family Run is a separate event from the 5, 10, and 21 km races covered by the Modetour package.

Modetour Run Trip covers the full entry fee, including registration handling

The travel agency handles registration on your behalf. According to a Mega Economy report, Modetour will handle registration and cover the full entry fee. The race kit includes a bib, running shirt, cap, and more. No price list for the package has been obtained. A local sales page still shows prices from a past discount period, so it is hard to treat them as the current entry fee.

Dalat race promoting Korea–Vietnam cultural exchange; package combines sightseeing and meals

VTV8 presents this race as linked to health promotion, environmental protection, and Korea–Vietnam cultural exchange. The Modetour package also combines a marathon with sightseeing and local meals. Detailed schedules must be checked in the package terms.

The race has not yet taken place, and the schedule reflects the organizers’ plans. I have not obtained the original detailed package text or any additional launch reports. The time from the launch report on October 22 to the race day on November 22 is 31 days.
