Conquering the 85KM Ultra at LamDong Trail 2026: The Pinnacle Challenge in the Da Lat Highlands
Hello passionate trail runners and outdoor adventurers! If you are searching for a true bucket-list ultra marathon to push your limits in 2026, LamDong Trail should without a doubt top your racing calendar.
First introduced in the 2025 edition as the most demanding ultra course, the 85KM category returns to LamDong Trail 2026 as the ultimate test of physical endurance and mental fortitude amidst Vietnam's breathtaking Central Highlands.
85 Kilometers of Raw Nature and Highland Terrain
The 85KM track of this premier Giải Chạy Lam Dong (Lam Dong running race) is far more than a physical race—it is an intimate dialogue with mother nature. Runners traverse steep elevation gains on slippery red basalt trails, navigate endless lush coffee plantations, and dive deep into ancient pine canopies.
What sets this race apart is the dramatic seasonal shift: experiencing four distinct seasons in a single 24-hour window. Starting in the freezing morning mist, enduring the midday high-altitude sun, and feeling the crisp autumnal chill as dusk settles over the ridges.
The Golden Bloom Welcoming Trail Warriors
The final stretch through the signature pine groves of Lam Dong offers pure euphoria. Golden wild sunflowers (Da Quy), blooming exclusively during race season, line the paths as silent companions witnessing every brave stride across the finish line.
