Hello! Xin chao! I'm from the US, been living here since September and one of the things I miss the most about back home is running. So I wonder...

Where do people run?
Are there any running clubs?
5Ks? 10Ks? I'd love to sign up for a race.

I haven't ran in a bit, but I'm dying to get back into it.

Thanks! -Elizabeth

Not too many road races in HCMC. They held the first one (5k and 10k) ever this past december in district 7 and there were more than 5000 participants so a good start and hopefully more to come in the future. There are usually several races in other cities that pop up from time to time. I've run one in Phu Quoc Island and Vung Tau in 2012. After the HCMC run in december there were some flyers promoting a spring run on a golf course I think in District 2 so maybe have a search for that.
