Quang Ninh (VNA) – More than 2,200 runners took part in the Olympic Run Day for Public Health and the 50th provincial mountain running race held in Ha Long City, the northern province of Quang Ninh on September 20.

The runners were from local governmental bodies, armed forces, schools and enterprises, including the Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited (Vinacomin).

The events were organised to mark the success of the province’s 15th Party Congress and look towards the 13th National Party Congress next year, according to the provincial Department of Culture and Sports.

They also formed part of local efforts to encourage people to exercise following the example of late President Ho Chi Minh, aiming to raise public awareness of the importance of physical training to improving people’s well-being and life quality./.
