Launched in 2024, the Standard Chartered Hanoi Marathon Heritage Race is the 10th event in Standard Chartered's global marathon series. It attracts tens of thousands of local and international runners each year. Ahead of the 2026 race, Trinh Nhu Quynh spoke to VnExpress about this year's edition.

The race is entering its third season. What distinguishes it from others?
Vietnam is one of Standard Chartered's key markets, where the bank has operated for more than 120 years. Bringing the Standard Chartered marathon series to Vietnam reflects the bank's focus on promoting healthier lifestyles and community engagement.
The race also features race shirts made from recycled materials and medals inspired by Hanoi's heritage.
