 Hoa Binh delegate has 5 athletes who have grown up from the Da Bac marathon championship and the traditional marathon trophy of Hoa Binh Newspaper. The athletes competed in the content of 10 km men movement and individual teens (5km). Most prominent is the athlete Dinh Thanh Hue who already won the championship of men movement for two years (2016, 2017). However, in the 2018 season, the men's movement distance has increased from 7 km to 10 km, so the athletes needed more preparation in training. Competing with 35 athletes, including many athletes who have been successful in the national track, Dinh Thanh Hue has brought into play their professional skills, willpower and efforts to win the championship for the third time with 34 minutes 38 seconds. In the content of individual male teens, the athlete Xa Thanh Son suddenly rose to the third place to win bronze medal (17 minutes 43 seconds). Xa Thanh Son's teammate, Ban Thuong An won the 4th prize. If there were enough 3 athletes, the possibility of winning the men's team in Hoa Binh would be possible, but unfortunately, in this content, our province had only 2 athletes. After many years of winning the national championship of marathon, this is the first time Hoa Binh province has won two medals (one gold, one bronze).
