Along with the main race, the Sunrise Sprint will take place on November 16, with the event being a shorter distance triathlon including a 750m swim, 20km bike, and a five km run designed for beginners, with this being a great way to challenge them and prepare themselves for longer distances.

Besides, the Newborns Vietnam Run Out, a three km charity fun run on November 15, will be raising money and awareness for newborns.
