Started in 2000, the annual Run for Children Hanoi was known as Terry Fox Run before changing its format in 2009.

The run is jointly organized by the Canadian Embassy in Vietnam and the Vietnam–Canada Friendship Association.

It has so far raised more than 4 billion VND (190,000 USD) to provide healthcare to needy children. Last year, the run attracted more than 5,000 participants and raised over 1 billion VND.
