Not only does VietCredit play an official sponsorship role with VnExpress newspaper in the running tournament but also becomes one of the biggest groups participating in the competition.

VnExpress Marathon (VM) is an annual running tournament organized by VnExpress newspaper. This year, the tournament is held in Quy Nhon city in June that has the running track certified by two international organizations IAAF / AIMS (International Association of Athletics Federations / The Association of International Marathons and Distance Races).

This means that runners can use their record in VM 2019 to sign up for bigger events like Boston Marathon, Chicago Marathon or New York City Marathon…

Up to now, more than 6,000 domestic and foreign athletes have registered many different distances, from 5 km to 42 km run. This year’s race starts from Nguyen Tat Thanh Square, stretches the coast on Xuan Dieu Street and Thi Nai Bridge, goes towards Eo Gio and then follows the coast back to the city center.

In particular, it is the only marathon in Vietnam that sets the course through the Thi Nai (2.5 kilometers) sea overpass. In the early morning, 21 km and 42 km distance runners have chance to see the sunrise on the bridge, enjoy the cool sea breeze and experience the feeling of waves crashing under each step.

As one of the first sponsors of VM 2019, VietCredit assesses this is a great sports tournament that has a great significance to the community, because marathon has become popular in the world and has been developing in Vietnam in the past few years.

Being a partner with VM 2019 tournament, VietCredit aims to support the conditions for athletes as well as actively promote the image of people and landscapes in Quy Nhon, thereby promoting local  tourism and economic development.

The international scale of the Quy Nhon Marathon combines with the prestige of VnExpress newspaper, the People’s Committee of Binh Dinh Province, the number of professional foreign and Vietnamese runners have created a chance for VietCredit to spread brand image to community. Specially, the participation of many famous sponsors such as Bamboo Airway, FLC, Adidas, Garmin,…has showed that VietCredit is ready to attent the big “”playground” with other big brands.
