At 3 AM, Ho Chi Minh Square was still wrapped in a thin layer of mist. My Hien was tying her shoelaces for the fourth time. No one noticed. At the front row, the male elites were chatting and patting each other on the back, while cameras fixed on Dan Quyet because he just waved. My Hien stood back, took a deep breath, and when the gun fired, she ran away in silence. People saw a race; I saw destinies running. VM Grand Tour Nghe An 2026 was the first time this event came to President Ho Chi Minh's homeland, with four distances: 5km, 10km, 21km and 42km. It was also one of the events with the fewest full marathon runners I have ever witnessed. In the men's 42km, Nguyen Mai Trung and Dan Quyet ran side by side, alternating the lead. Mai Trung's personal best is 2 hours 41 minutes 55 seconds, set at VnExpress Marathon Hai Phong 2026, ranking 69th among the fastest full marathon runners in Vietnamese history. My Hien of Nghe An Runners Club led the women's field, with a personal best of 3 hours 7 minutes 39 seconds. In women's athletics, I do not seek victory, I seek liberation. Most Vietnamese marathon reports give 60-70% of coverage to men, even though female registrations at short and medium distances have approached 40-45%. Each time they finish, a prejudice breaks.
