Run for tigers to take place in Hanoi next month
A half marathon race aimed at promoting public awareness on tiger protection in Vietnam will be held at the Ciputra urban area in Hanoi's Bac Tu Liem district on December 9.
The event named “Run for Tigers” also aims to encourage the community to commit to not using products made from tiger, thus helping to put an end to the hunting, farming and trade of tigers in the country.
