Running the Ha Giang Loop:
I completed the loop on a moped over a year ago and I always knew I wanted to run it. I stayed in contact with the tour guide who did it with us.
Had two friends supporting the loop, they were on mopeds and stopped to meet me to fill up water bottles and supply food. They carried gels, energy bars and carb drinks and found restaurants to stop at. They got most of their supplies from local shops along the way which was great. The tour guide helped with places to sleep along the way. Overall, very fortunate with the support that I had, made life so much easier.
The hills were the toughest parts, slow uphill and after the first day had to take the downhills a lot slower which made it much more painful.
Grateful to have completed this and was an amazing adventure that I couldn’t recommend enough to others.
