Vân Trang Wins Top Spot in Women's 42km at Y Tý Golden Season 2026, Overtakes Male Field with 4 Hours 26 Minutes

The moment Vân Trang stepped onto the winner's podium at Y Tý Golden Season 2026 on September 6 marked a memorable milestone in Vietnamese trail running. In the 42km distance, the mother of four born in 2026 finished in 4 hours 26 minutes, claiming first place among women and second overall, losing to just one male runner. This number is not only a result but also a living testament to the endurance of an athlete once deemed challenging due to the Lảo Thẩn terrain at 2,860m above sea level and accumulated elevation of over 1,300m.
