The 42 km event is trail, with separate hill-road races
Race Jungle separates trail distances of 25, 42, 55 and 70 km from the shorter hill-road races. Select the 42 km booklet and GPX when assessing climbing, terrain and equipment. Road-marathon mileage alone does not describe the demands of a mountain trail route.
The older schedule closes the 25 km and 42 km trail courses at 21:00 on April 4, while the hill-road starts are listed for April 5. Those are historical operational details, not a future cutoff or a 2027 date. Read the next race’s full-distance schedule before arranging transport between collection, the start and accommodation.
The organizer identifies Mèo Vạc square as a central race venue and publishes a booklet, GPX and required-equipment section. Obtain the new 42 km versions before choosing carrying capacity or lighting. A longer ultra’s rules and overnight timing may differ from the 42 km category, even within the same festival.
The displayed entry prices and sold-out status refer to the 2026 event. Use a new-edition announcement for availability and booking terms. The page now identifies the locality as Mèo Vạc, Tuyên Quang; compare the precise venue and organizer directions when planning travel rather than relying only on the older Ha Giang event name.
Next edition awaiting confirmation
An exact next-edition date is not confirmed here. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for the organizer’s announcement before setting a taper or booking race-specific travel. Check that the announcement names your distance: an event weekend, registration opening or shorter race can appear before the full programme. Save your entry confirmation separately from a provisional travel plan, and compare an announced alternative if you need a fixed date. Keep the route details below in their stated edition context until the new participant guide is available.
