The training camp is sponsored by sportswear brand XTEP in cooperation with Sunrise Events Vietnam, with support from the Ho Chi Minh City Athletics Federation.

The month-long camp brings together 50 runners, 50 pacers, and a team of professional coaches. Pacers help runners maintain a consistent pace throughout a race to achieve their target finish times.

A Marathon Expo is one of the highlights of the Techcombank Ho Chi Minh City International Marathon scheduled for December 4 and 5.
