Nearly 5,000 people have registered for the VPBank VnExpress Marathon Ho Chi Minh City Midnight.
Nguyen Truong Phuc, 39, from Hanoi, was one of the first to register for the race. He participated in the 21-kilometer distance last year.
This year, Phuc challenged himself with a full marathon and also registered his wife and son for the 5 km distance.
"Last year, I went to HCMC for a vacation with my mother and personally had the experience of running at night through the streets of Saigon. I found it different and interesting. This year, I decided to bring my whole family to experience the tournament together."
Ticket prices for the race will gradually increase as the tournament date approaches.
