Van Trang wins top 1 in 42km women's trail and 2nd overall at Y Ti Mo Vang 2026 despite being a mother of 4

The Y Ti Mo Vang 2026 race held on September 6, 2026, at Lảo Thẩn peak, Y Tý, Lào Cai, featured a memorable moment in Vietnamese trail running history. In the 42km trail running event, female athlete Van Trang, nicknamed Jang Doll, claimed the top spot in the women's category with a time of 4 hours 26 minutes. More impressively, this mother of four, born in 2026, secured second place overall, beating nearly all male runners except one. The 42km trail course at Y Tý has a cumulative elevation gain of over 1300 meters, with steep terrain and thin air in the highlands that terrify any runner. This is Van Trang's third consecutive participation, and this performance affirms her superior endurance among thousands of male and female athletes.
