Kun Marathon, a race for children aged 6-10, began bib and race kit distribution at 8:00 AM on 19/12. Registration is free. Parents used QR codes provided by the organizers to complete the process.

The Hai Phong event concludes the 2025 race series. Organizers integrated companion activities called "Kun Tet - small actions, big joy," designed to foster a festive atmosphere.

Organizers encouraged children to write down small actions they plan to do during the upcoming New Year's and Lunar New Year (Tet Nguyen Dan). Some wished to help parents with chores, while others aimed for perfect scores to give to their parents.

They could also write family wishes and attach them to the "Tree of Joy." The organizers hope this activity enriches the experience and creates a welcoming Tet atmosphere, celebrating the year's largest family reunion.

The Kun Marathon bib collection area on the morning of 19/12 also featured a traditional calligrapher, known as "Ong Do." He readily wrote couplets upon request for parents and children, delighting many young participants.

One parent dressed their child in a Santa Claus costume for bib collection, as Christmas 2025 was less than one week away.

Two parents checked in with their Kun Marathon bibs, locating their child's name on a board and taking commemorative photos.

A child posed for a photo in front of a backdrop listing the names of the young athletes.

Kun Marathon Hai Phong 2025 starts at 7:00 AM on 20/12 at the city's Children's Palace. The nearly one-kilometer course includes various physical challenges. In addition to the race, 2,200 children will meet with: People's Artist Xuan Bac, Artist Truong Giang, freestyle football athlete Do Kim Phuc, and several YouTubers and TikTokers.
