Opened in Hoang Su Phi District in Ha Giang Province on August 29, the programme takes place on a national scale and is open to all participants.

For each kilometre a participant walks or run, Sacombank will contribute VND1,000 to the fund to build a community cultural house for Lu ethnic minority people in Ban Hon Commune in Tam Duong District in Lai Chau Province.

The programme’s registration portal is open until 11:59pm on September 23 at the website www.sacombankrunnersclub.com.

The programme started recording the number of kilometres participants completed from 0:00 on August 29 to 11:59pm on September 23.

Participants can walk or run, with an average speed of 4 minutes/km to 20 minutes/km.

In addition, athletes with a minimum cumulative kilometres from 100km will have the opportunity to participate in a lucky draw programme, which will select the 200 luckiest people to receive rewards from the programme including one metal medal and one "Steps for the Community” t-shirt with a unique design.
