Great video and thanks for sharing this with us, it’s a run I am strongly considering

You should try it. It will be a great experience and is alot of fun. Additionally, the runners are super friendly and is a great life experience. I hope you decide to do it. This is one of the reasons I produced the video, to show what exactly to expect if you decide to run the race. Thanks for the nice comments and best of luck to you no matter what you decide.

what an amazing experience. This is the best video I have seen this year. Thank you so so much for all the information. I run 6miles 5-6 times per week and to be honest with you I did not think I can finish the marathon. Now that I watch your videos I have more confident to do it this May, the full marathon. Thank you so so much for putting it out there for us to enjoy. Most people carry their personal bags with them in the morning, do they leave their bags inside the bus when they enter the square? are there lockers? or do you have to check your bags? I wish you the best, thank you so much again. Chante Trinh

Chante, Thanks for the nice comments regarding the video. We worked really hard to produce a video that would give anyone a good idea of what to expect when running the marathon. In regards to your questions: There is an official gear check and volunteers are watching the bags at all times. Additionally, there are limited lockers too (more for the tourists/spectators) but most of the runners do the gear check. Longry checked her bags at the gear check and it worked out great. Best of luck to you in regards to the marathon! You will do great and have alot of fun.

what was you average time per mile? Great job by the way !

[@ericmonte2038]

I'm not sure what the average time was per mile. If I were to guess, it would have to be around 14 to 16 minutes. This estimation takes into account the numerous stairs. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I highly recommend that you try running this race. The people I met were great and it was a really good time.

hai, ni hao.... may i know that what kind of camera did u use?

[@ericmonte2038]

The camera that was used is a GoPro Hero Black 7 with a shorty stick. You will notice with this camera it has a good stabilization feature. This feature allows you to videotape as you run without the video being really bouncy and hard for the viewer to watch. If your going to record any of your races, I would recommend that you use this camera. I think the GoPro Hero 7 costs around $400.00 and the shorty stick cost around $35.00. I hope this information helped you out and thanks for your support of this channel. Enjoy running!
