According to Viettel Telecom’s Deputy General Director Nguyen Thanh Nhuong, the program not only offers an interesting challenge for running lovers, but also displays Viettel’s philosophy of business and social responsibilities.
The 10-kilometer run includes three categories with different starting times to keep runners safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Professional athletes will start their run at 5:30 a.m. while semi-professional and amateur athletes will begin their run at 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. respectively.

Each competitor will be charged from VND 300,000 to VND 350,000 depending on their registration time. The collected money will also be sent to the “Heart for Children” program.
