Nhon Do Trong

Sport: Trail Running
Nationality: Vietnamese

Nhon started off his trail running career in 2019, and after just a year he quickly became a standout star in the local distance running community while winning the Penang Eco 50km trail race in Malaysia.

In 2021, he embarked on a personal mission: running 100km continuously in just 9 hours to raise over US$27,000 for a charity. This endeavor highlighted his commitment to combining his love for running with a cause close to his heart.

His journey continued with significant Vietnam race wins, the #1 male ITRA country ranking, and other achievements, including becoming one of the first runner in Vietnam to complete the UTMB distance in 2023.
