As scheduled, the race will go through the idyllic Hue countryside around the resort, hotels and world-class golf course designed by Sir Nick Faldo.
On October 24, participants can race in the 10km and 5km fun-run, while children can participate in the 2km kid's run.
Marathoners and half-marathoners will start their races on October 25.
