Vietnamese IT engineer on track to run over 8,000km to raise funds for school building

Over the past year, Tuan, a 39-year-old individual, has consistently run an average of 21 kilometers per day. With the improvement of his overall health and stamina, Tuan made the decision to challenge himself by attempting to break the Vietnamese record for the most kilometers run in a year. Thousands of Vietnamese runners and marathon enthusiasts have supported him on his journey to 8,330 kilometers in 365 days. Hoang Ngoc Ha, member of the My Dinh Runner, a marathon club in Hanoi, and a football referee, often runs with Tuan and other club members on weekends. “Tuan’s determination has inspired not only the members of his club, but also Vietnamese runners in general,” he said.
