PANO – Around 1,300 runners are expected to take part in the 42nd Open Hanoi Running Tournament for Peace 2015 in Hanoi on October 4th.
Among the participants are nearly 350 international friends who are working or studying in Hanoi.
The organizing panel will hold a signing of a peace flag and run in support of the tourney.
The runners will compete in two events: the 5,250m for women and the 8,750m event for men.
The tournament is among several activities in celebration of the 61st anniversary of Capital Liberation Day, the 16th anniversary of Hanoi’s recognition as a “City for Peace” by UNESCO, and the 16th Party Congress of the Hanoi Party Committee.
