Hanoi marathon brings sports enthusiasts together

More than 9,000 athletes, locals and foreigners participated in the second Techcombank Hanoi Marathon, held in the capital Hanoi on September 15-17. The event aimed to raise funds while encouraging people to form healthy habits.  More than 41,000 USD would be donated to survivors and families of the recent tragic apartment fire in Hanoi and victims of the flash floods.

Kids Run was held for children aged 5 to 14 in the event. The running race aimed to nurture the love of sports among children from an early age. The marathon featured four distances certified by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races. First-place winners can place their records alongside the registration of international competitions such as the Boston Marathon, Chicago Marathon, New York City Marathon and Berlin Marathon.
