'MetaSports Marathon helps Khanh Hoa promote sports'
- This race is expected to have an estimated scale of 11,000 athletes - more than the previous year, so the organizers have prepared carefully. Security, medical and volunteer work, medical stations this year are also arranged in many key points. The health sector sends highly qualified doctors to support athletes in a timely manner.
Regarding traffic flow, the locality will mobilize many forces to protect and regulate vehicles during the tournament. The government prioritizes running race activities but tries to limit the impact on people's lives and activities.
Besides the runners, there are also cheering followers, which is expected to increase the number of guests booking when the tournament takes place. The province will send a specialized unit to regularly check accommodation services, resorts, hotels... to help stabilize prices.
- What are the local advantages when organizing the running race for the second time?
Nha Trang has a beautiful coastal route, airy space. When running on the pass, athletes can admire the blue beach, or the bays of islands from afar. Nha Trang's relatively cool climate is one of the ideal conditions for athletes to participate.
In addition, Khanh Hoa has many policies to develop tourism attraction, in which the model of tourism associated with sports and marathon has become a new trend, promoting people to exercise, contributing to attracting tourists. calendar. We believe that the tournament is one of the important "pushs" in the sports training movement of the province.
- How has the local sports movement changed with the appearance of the MetaSports Marathon?
- This is the second time Khanh Hoa has coordinated to organize the race at the MetaSports Marathon. The race was welcomed by many residents and runners inside and outside the province, reflected in the larger number of registered athletes than last year.
Thanks to the tournament taking place, over the past time, the movement of local people's health training has been enhanced. Many families practice to prepare for the tournament. Most of the participants did not place much emphasis on achievements but for the purpose of health training, a summer fun occasion for many parents with their children, and improving the quality of life.
The locality is building many new and attractive tourism programs to attract more domestic and foreign tourists to the coastal city. In order to increase the rate of tourists returning to Khanh Hoa, we will strengthen the inspection and handling of violations, so that the situation of eating establishments "chopping off" tourists will not occur.
- What are your expectations for the MetaSports Marathon in Nha Trang 2023?
- The MetaSports Marathon has taken place in many localities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Quang Ninh, Binh Dinh... so I realize that the organizers have a lot of experience. Before the tournament, we strengthen the review, organize meetings to agree on the plan, overcome even the smallest shortcomings.
In this tournament, the medal is designed with local characteristics such as agarwood buds, sea shells - familiar images of the coastal city of Nha Trang. Through it, local brands and images are widely promoted to domestic and international tourists.
We hope that in the near future there will be many sports tournament organizers with similar movements to serve running lovers in particular and sports in general, contributing to improving people's fitness.
