After our inaugural race in 2007, we realised that participants often do not get to appreciate the full splendour of the country in the triathlon competition, being totally focused on their race.  Therefore, In 2008 we are introducing a recreational ride on the following day from Hoi An to My Son, two of Vietnam's major historical treasures and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
