Viettel Telecom presents VND 750 million to the “Heart for Children” program. |
Accordingly, the whole revenue from ticket sales will be sent to “Heart for Children,” a charity heart surgery program founded by the Military Industry-Telecoms Group (Viettel) and the Vietnam Television.
In previous editions of the race in Hanoi, the event attracted more than 3,500 participants and collected VND 1.1 billion from ticket sales to cure children with congenital heart diseases.
The 10-kilometer run includes three categories, which are new Personal Record (NEW PR), semi-professional athletes (SEMI PRO) and professional athletes (PRO). Each category has its own individual standards of achievement, particularly 42 to 45 minutes for PRO, 60 to 65 minutes for SEMI PRO, and 90 to 100 minutes for NEW PR for males and females, respectively.
Themed “Speed up with technology,” participants to Viettel Fastest 2022 experienced numerous new technologies developed by Viettel Telecom, such as online management system by registration codes, facial recognition check-in, electronic waiver, and QR Code, among others.
