This is an annual event of the BritCham Vietnam.
The program aims to encourage the spirit of sportsmanship, especially raise fund to support projects in various fields, such as education, health, and natural disaster prevention, contributing to sharing difficulties with the poor in Vietnam.
The program was first held in 2000 and has been held annually over the past 21 years. This is one of the organization’s largest community projects.
Annually, the race attracts the participation of more than 130,000 people and raises over VND 12 billion from sponsors. The money is then used according to the charity policy of BritCham.
