Three-Line Summary

Modetour announced on October 22 that it had launched three run-trip packages by course for the 5, 10, and 21 km Dalat Marathon.
The race will be held November 21–22 around Lam Bien Square and Xuan Huong Lake, with 3,000–5,000 participants expected.
Modetour will cover the full participation fee, but selling prices, travel duration, and departure dates have not been confirmed in public reports.

130,000 people. This is the three-day visitor count of the first 'K-Vietnam Wellness Festa,' according to the organizers. Looking at the Modetour press release published in Special Times, this year's target is about 200,000 people, according to reports. This is 70,000 people, or about 54%, more than the first event. If the target is met, it will surpass the first event's 130,000 and become the most-visited record for this event.

Dalat Marathon Course: From July Reports to the Announcement of Four Distances in October

iNews24 reported on July 24 that the 2nd Festa will run November 20–24 at Lam Bien Square. It said 200 companies, including 100 from Korea and 100 from Vietnam, will participate. At that time, the race was called the 'International Friendship Marathon.'

A three-month-later October report gave the race a different name. On October 21, the Lam Dong Province Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center and Dahae International Vietnam held a press conference. According to the Lam Dong provincial newspaper Báo Lâm Đồng, the '2026 Dalat Green International Marathon' is set to take place November 21–22 over two days at Lam Bien Square and around Xuan Huong Lake. Expected participants, including athletes, residents, and tourists, total 3,000–5,000.

The race has been announced with four distances: 1.2, 5, 10, and 21 km. iNews24 gave the first event's year as 2024, while the Modetour press release wrote it in a way that reads as 2025. In a VOV report, deputy director Võ Thị Hoàng Yến of the center said, “This year we plan to invite 5–7 provinces and cities from across the country.”

Dalat run trip with entry fee fully included, three packages by course

On October 22, the day after the press conference, Modetour said it had launched the “Dalat Run Trip.” Herald Business reports that the product comes in 5 km, 10 km, and 21 km (half) courses, three packages. Modetour handles race registration and covers the full race entry fee. The race's 1.2 km course is not included in the products.

Race kits consist of bib numbers, running shirts, and caps and are reportedly distributed on November 21. Participation ages are age 8 and up for the 5 km and age 14 and up for the 10 km and 21 km. Both details appear only in the Modetour press release. Accordingly, children aged 8 and up but under 14 can run together only in the 5 km race.

The sightseeing itinerary includes the Flower Garden, Dalat Railway Station, Valley of Love, Xuan Huong Lake, and Stairway to Heaven. Meals mix Vietnamese dishes such as bun cha and banh xeo with Korean food. Selling prices, travel periods, and departure dates are not in public reports. Whether airfare and hotels are included is also not confirmed in reports. Prices must be checked on the Modetour website or app.

This is not Modetour's first run trip. It previously released packages linked to the Saipan and Jeju races. Won Jong-su, head of Modetour's Southeast Asia Business Division, said the company will continue to expand specialized theme products tailored to customers' tastes and travel purposes.

Dalat Marathon Race Day: Difference Between “22nd” and “21–22”

The remaining variable is the date. The Modetour press release headline says “November 22,” while the body and Vietnamese reports say “November 21–22, two days.” Race dates for each event should be confirmed through the official regulations. This is a different race from the 'Dalat Ultra Trail' trail race held March 27–29.

The 3,000–5,000 participants and the 200,000 visitor target are all estimates from the organizers. As of November 3, the race has not yet taken place, and schedules and courses may change depending on local conditions.
