Edurun 2026, themed "Mo loi tuong lai - Paving the Way", marks the 10th anniversary of the "Run for health - Run for education - Run for community" event, organized by the Vinschool Education System.

This year, alongside online and offline runs at Vinschool campuses, Edurun expanded its activities to include: revisiting and providing essential supplies to remote schools, and promoting the commemorative music video "Buoc toi tuong lai - Paving the Way". These initiatives attracted students, parents, and teachers, enabling students to develop physical fitness while directly contributing to community value and fostering a sense of responsibility and sharing.

Launched in 2015, Edurun embodies the philosophy that "education extends beyond the classroom, shaped by experience, action, and community responsibility". The program promotes physical training, cultivates positive lifestyles, and empowers students to engage in activities that create tangible value.

Over 10 seasons, Edurun has engaged more than 255,000 participants and raised nearly 30 billion VND. This funding has supported the construction and renovation of numerous schools in remote areas across Vietnam, including Son La, Dien Bien, Tuyen Quang, and Quang Tri. These projects significantly enhance local infrastructure and provide lasting value to disadvantaged communities.

"Edurun's support helps teachers feel secure in their work, enabling them to remain in their schools and communities to educate children in challenging regions," stated Ms. Vu Thuy Lan, Principal of Muong Dun Kindergarten, Dien Bien.

According to Ms. Tran Mai Phuong, Principal of Vinschool Primary, Secondary and High School, Edurun's distinction is its consistent objective. For 10 seasons, the program has consistently integrated physical training with community action, fostering student autonomy, a spirit of sharing, and social responsibility.

Edurun offers diverse participation and fundraising methods, including: direct runs, online runs, individual contributions, and accompanying activities. This flexibility allows each member to engage in a suitable manner, all contributing to the common objective.

Through its consistent efforts, Edurun forges a "path to the future", creating opportunities for Vinschool students and numerous children in remote areas across Vietnam.
