Van Trang Wins Y Ti Golden 2026, Declares 'Running with Feet Not Mouth'

The Y Ti Golden 2026 race held on September 6, 2026 in Lao Cai created a profound memorable moment in the Vietnamese running community. In the 42km women's trail event, Van Trang - nicknamed Jang Doll - won first place. More notably, the mother of four children born in 2026 ranked second overall, beating almost all male runners and losing only to one. With a finish time of 4 hours 26 minutes, Van Trang affirmed her superior strength and endurance in the harsh terrain of Y Ti - a famous trail with over 1300 meters cumulative elevation gain, steep slopes, and thin air that is always a major challenge for runners.
