16 items in VnExpress Marathon Ho Chi Minh City Midnight race kit

This is the tournament offering the largest number of items, including a T-shirt, bib, bib belt, hat, and drawstring bag, for runners in the VnExpress Marathon system.

The group of 21-kilometer and 42-kilometer runners could choose between a T-shirt and a singlet. For singlets, the contour is heat-pressed with advanced heating technology, allowing for a smooth fit during the lengthy runs.

Foam rollers and LED running lights are also provided to runners covering 21km and 42km distances.

“I am quite surprised and pleased with the new items in the race kit,” said runner Tran Nghia from HCMC.

“Rollers help in healing muscles faster after the race, and LED lights help ensure safety,” he said.

He added that these items may be used for a variety of sports later, so there is no waste.

The HCMC Midnight race will take place on February 12, which is close to Valentine’s Day, so the full marathon runner’s race kit will contain more chocolate.

Le Dieu Quynh, 27, of Da Nang, who will run the 42-kilometer distance, said the gift from the organizer is interesting.

“I think the organizer was quite understanding when preparing the chocolate, especially for single runners like me,” Quynh added.

Similar to prior races, runners will be provided with water, milk, cakes, energy bars, and chicken breasts during the competition.

These are the items of choice suitable for athletes, especially long-distance runners. Sunscreen and skin care items are also included in the race kit.

One of the companions of the HCMC Midnight race, Skechers Running Club, is anticipated to provide the running community with the best preparation and experience.

Skechers offers advice ranging from running technique to fitness substances, as well as training program and weekly workshop series led by qualified trainers.

On February 10 and 11, runners can take part in exciting activities at the Skechers Running Club booth outside the event’s Expo area.

The organizer will distribute the bibs and race kits on Friday morning at Hoa Lu Stadium at the corner of Dinh Tien Hoang and Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Streets in District 1.

From February 10 to 11, runners can pick up supplies and visit the sponsor’s booths in the area. The tournament will start at 0 a.m. on February 12.
