International professional and amateur athletes and foreigners working in Viet Nam took part in the last day of Madagui Trophy 2008 on Sunday held at the Madagui Tourist Park in Da Huoai District of Lam Dong Province in the Central Highlands.
The
two-day Madagui Trophy 2008 was an extreme sports contest. It will be
followed up with tourist-oriented events organized by Vietadventure Co.
on March 25-26. This event aims to promote extreme sports and images of
Viet Nam to international tourists.
Over 100 athletes from Europe and Asia, as well as foreigners working
in Viet Nam, competed in two different triathlon contests, one for
professionals and the other for amateurs. The contests consisted of a
BMX freestyle motorbike, sailing across a stream, and a running race.
The Madagui Trophy was one of the biggest sports contests and tourist
events ever organized in Viet Nam. A portion of the profits gained from
the event will be donated to a community project designed to protect
and develop the national forest system.
The Madagui Tourist Park located on Highway 20 between Ho Chi Minh City
to Da Lat. As part of the Nam Cat Tien Forest, Madagui has a thick
vegetation cover characteristic of tropical rain forests. It is an
ideal place for camping and exploring neglected caves and tropical rain
forests.
