According to Herald Business, the race takes place November 21–22 at Lam Vien Square and the Xuan Huong Lake area. The package is operated to match the official race day, November 22, and the race kit (bib number, running T-shirt, and cap) is handed out the day before, on the 21st. If you're taking time off, the first thing to factor in is that you'll need to already be on site on the 21st to collect your kit.

This marathon is not a standalone event. iNews24reports that it is one of the 8 core programs of the Korea-Vietnam exchange event running November 20–24. Kim Ga-won, CEO of Dahae International Korea, who hosts the event, said, "We will prepare so that it does not stop at a one-off event but takes root as a representative international exchange model through which Korean SMEs can enter the Vietnamese market." The organizers expect about 200,000 people, which is about 54% more than the 130,000 visitors at the first event, per organizers (200,000÷130,000≈1.54).

Dalat Marathon's Three Courses, 5km Open from Age 8

Course	Eligible Age	Ages 8–13 with accompanying child
5km	Age 8 and up	Allowed
10km	Age 14 and up	Not allowed
21km	Age 14 and up	Not allowed

Special Timesreported the courses are 5km, 10km, and 21km. The age requirements are split into two groups. The 5km is open to age 8 and up, but the 10km and 21km are open only to age 14 and up participants. To run with children aged 8–13, the 5km is the only course option.

Dalat is a highland city at about 1,500m above sea level. If you're new to high-altitude running, it's safer to consult a specialist before choosing a distance.

Dalat Run Trip Entry Fee Support and Registration Handling; Price Not Disclosed

Asia EconomyAccording to Asia Economy, Modetour will handle race registration on participants' behalf and has pledged full entry fee support. The problem is that the entry fee itself, and whether it varies by course, has not been disclosed. Without the support amount, it can't be compared with individual registration. Whether the package is a better deal can only be judged once the product price is revealed.

Some media wording differs. Some outlets described the race kit as 'free,' but the press release says 'provided.' Asia Economy described the Lam Vien Square area as the 'race course,' while other outlets called it the 'venue.' No official course map has been confirmed.

Dalat Run Trip: 5 Sightseeing Spots, 7 Meals

According to Daily An, the sightseeing schedule includes five spots: Flower Garden, Dalat Train Station, Valley of Love, Xuan Huong Lake, and Stairway to Heaven. Xuan Huong Lake is also where the race is held, so you would return to the lakeshore you ran along on race day, this time as a sightseeing stop.

Meals are made up of 7 options. Four local dishes (bun cha, banh xeo, Vietnamese-style shabu-shabu, and chicken noodles) are joined by beef bulgogi hotpot, grilled beef set meal, and a seafood buffet. Three of the 7 are Korean set meals or buffets, so there are options for those who may not enjoy local food.

Many details are still undetermined. Prices, departure dates, trip duration, airfare, and accommodation must be checked separately on the Modetour website and mobile app. The official race website has not been confirmed, and schedules and courses may change.
