The event will be held in line with the Global Campaign of 16 Days of activism against gender-based violence in 2024 and the National Action Month on gender equality from 15 November - 15 December.
This is the third running race following the successful events in 2022 and 2023, organised by the Centre for Studies and Applied Sciences in Gender – Family – Women and Adolescent (CSAGA), as commissioned by UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund in Vietnam in partnership with the Government of Australia.
According to the organiser, the race aims to gather 2,000 runners of all ages, genders, and abilities. Runners will choose between two courses of 2.5 km and 5 km.
This race also champions inclusivity by encouraging and facilitating participation from vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities, the LGBTIQ+ community, children, and young people, creating a unified platform to advocate for a future free from violence against women and girls in Vietnam.
