Hanoi (VNA) - The “My Vietnam 2025” race, a large-scale national sporting event, is scheduled to take place on August 24 in Hanoi with the participation of 20,000 runners.
The race, jointly organised by Vinhomes JSC and Zaha Vietnam JSC, aims to promote Vietnamese history, culture, and national spirit.
