Dalat Ultra Trail 2027

More than 6,000 runners gather in the city of flowers every March. Fast pine-forest trails, red basalt earth and both Lang Biang summits on the long distances. Cool 12–24 °C weather makes it the most comfortable race on the calendar and family-friendly (10K).

Athletes must be 18 on race day (16 for distances ≤ 21 km with parental consent). Mandatory kit is checked at bib collection and randomly on course: charged phone, emergency blanket, whistle, minimum 1 litre capacity (2 litres for ≥ 70 km), headlamp with spare batteries for any distance starting or finishing in the dark, and a personal cup (no disposable cups at aid stations). Littering outside aid stations, cutting the course or receiving assistance outside designated zones means disqualification. Bib transfers are allowed up to 30 days before the race for a 100,000 ₫ fee; 50 % refund up to 60 days before, none after.

Fly to Lien Khuong (30 min from Da Lat) or take a 7 h sleeper bus from HCMC. Organiser bus from Saigon (add-on). Shuttles run in town to the start lines.

Da Lat has thousands of rooms but still sells out on race week. Hotels 400,000–3,000,000 ₫; guesthouses near Lam Vien square are most convenient. The twin-room add-on is limited.
