The 2025 edition attracted around 10,000 runners, including more than 1,000 international participants from 43 countries and territories. This year's race drew 1,000 registrations on its first day.

Puma remains a strategic partner for the second consecutive year, providing race shirts for all four distances and finisher shirts for the 21km and 42km events.

First held in November 2020, VnExpress Marathon Hanoi Midnight was Vietnam's first night marathon. Unlike conventional morning races, its events start around midnight, allowing runners to experience Hanoi's streets after dark while restaurants, public spaces and community areas remain active.
