The Dalat Ultra Trail 2024 offers a range of distances for all levels of runners. There are six categories to choose from: 5km, 15km, 25km, 55km, 75km, and the most challenging category, the 112km race.

The 112km race started on Friday night, while the rest of the races began on Saturday morning. Participants from around the world are coming together to compete in this prestigious event.

The event is organized by Vietnam MTB Series, a professional sports event organizer, in collaboration with the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Lam Dong Province.

Safety is a top priority for the organizers. Participants have access to emergency signaling technology on their phones or GPS devices, ensuring that help is just a click away. Live-tracking is also available, allowing spectators and loved ones to follow the progress of the runners.

The organizers have taken additional safety measures by involving rescue forces from Ho Chi Minh City and Lam Dong Province, as well as local volunteers. Twelve support stations are set up along the route, providing participants with water, food, and medical assistance.

Vietnamese Football Club Ordered to Pay $73,000 to Slovakian Team for Player Training Expenses

“We have successfully completed the transfer of fines and compensation to the designated recipient, effectively resolving the issue,” said Ngo Quoc Ta, Chairman of SHB Da Nang FC, a top-tier V-League 1 team in Vietnam, in an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday. “The incident has served as a valuable lesson for our club and other professional football clubs,” Ta added. Bui Xuan Hoa, Ta’s predecessor, attributed the incident to the team’s lack of expertise in the regulations and legal procedures surrounding the transfer of player Pham Thanh Tiep. Tiep, who was born in Slovakia in 1996 and trained at FC Banik Prievidza, a team in the Slovak third-tier league, since the age of 12, joined SHB Da Nang on a trial basis in early 2019 and eventually secured a two-year contract. However, due to a mismatch in playing style, Tiep terminated his contract with SHB Da Nang and reimbursed one year’s worth of the signing fee. According to FIFA regulations, when a club signs a prof...
