Organized by the British Chamber of Commerce Vietnam (BritCham), and powered by British University Vietnam (BUV), the event will include a 5km run at Ecopark, with various cultural performances along the course, food stalls serving refreshments, and free prizes.

The charity run is open to people of all ages, with an estimated attendance of 5,000 participants. Tickets are priced at USD 14.2 per person.

Money raised from the event will be donated to Newborns Vietnam, Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation, and the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation.

“This event is not just about raising money, it’s about ensuring that the money is used appropriately, and will support the mission of the charities and BritCham, which is to help people in need and people who are disadvantaged,” said Christopher Jeffery, Chairman of BritCham.

Over the years, the annual fun run has attracted more than 130,000 runners, garnered the support of 90 sponsors, and raised more than half a million USD for charitable activities across Vietnam.
