Along with the development in scale and influence, this year's season marks an important step forward in the organization, with the highlight being the adjustment of the competition route to improve the experience for athletes. Specifically, the two distances of marathon (42.195 km) and half marathon (21.1 km) will have the race route adjusted to ensure competition safety and minimize the impact on people's daily activities. Traffic coordination and control activities will also be implemented synchronously, under close coordination between the organizing committee and the authorities, aiming for a professionally organized, orderly and effective event.

With reasonable adjustments in operation, this year's route will take runners through 37 unique landmarks and constructions, from places associated with cultural and historical depth to modern highlights, clearly reflecting the multi-dimensional development of Hanoi. Through each step, participants not only conquer their physical limits, but also have the opportunity to explore a Hanoi that is changing every day, where traditional values ​​still go hand in hand with a creative and constantly moving lifestyle. The Hanoi International Marathon is therefore not simply a race, but also a journey connecting sports, culture and tourism, contributing to spreading the image of the capital as a dynamic destination, rich in identity and loved by the international community.
