A new UTMB World Series adventure is set to unfold in the Vietnamese highlands as Vietnam Highlands Trail by UTMB® debuts in Đà Lạt, Vietnam, from January 8–10, 2027.
Held under the patronage of the Vietnam People’s Public Security Sports Association and the Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee, and co-organized by Nexus Sport Events, this new event marks the arrival of the UTMB World Series circuit in Vietnam with the ambition of becoming a benchmark trail running event in the region.
This is the first new event for the 2027 calendar, and it will take the earliest spot on the calendar – previously the year kicked off with the Arc of Attrition. The official events page lists a 100K, 50K, 20K and a couple shorter distances – registration is opening soon.
The UTMB World Series continues its expansion in Asia.
ECC’S UTMB World Series Calendar is updated.
