The running track starts from Ba Kieu temple, which was formed in the 17th century to be the earliest place in the country to worship Mother Goddesses. From here, runners will stroll along the capital's old street, passing several famous cultural heritage sites, making a round at West Lake before finishing the race at Hoan Kiem Lake.

The Race Organizing Committee of the VPBank Hanoi Marathon 2022 will reserve a separated Finish gate for the Mini marathon (4.2 km) and the 10-km categories on the nearby Trang Tien street. Runners competing in the distances of 21.097 km and 42.195 km will cross the Finish line at the traditional venue on Dinh Tien Hoang street.

Vietnam has lifted restrictions, opening the door to foreign tourism since March 15. Citizens from Belarus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Japan and South Korea can enter without a visa for the duration of their 15-day stay, regardless of their passport type or purpose of entry.
