Conquering mountains in Tay Ninh Province
Viet Adventure Co. organized a race taking 75
runners up the side of Ba Den Mountain in Tay Ninh Province, some 80 kilometers
from HCMC, to meet the challenge of trekking up the wild, rugged terrain and
climbing the countless rocky stairs.

The athletes, aged from 6 to 70 years old, scaled the mountain with an exciting
ascent of 982 meters, according to the organizer.
The young Ezra Szvoboda, 16, finished first after almost two hours of pounding
up the craggy trails. He was followed by 13 year old Simon Art.
“It was my first time hiking, it was great and so beautiful, and I’ll definitely
be back next year,” one participant commented.
The organizer says it is committed to improving the environment and to enabling
communities to embrace positive change in attitudes toward environmental
sustainability. To that end, with the profits made from this adventure hike, it
will finance the cleaning of the mountain.
Viet Adventure says the next event for nature and sports lovers is a jungle race
called Madagui Trophy which will be held on February 27 and 28.
