Beyond the race course, the event offers a children's play area, free health consultation zones, and old clothes donation activities for charity projects. This blend of sports, health, family, and social responsibility aims to foster a cohesive atmosphere, transforming the race into a community festival.
Since its first season in 2019 in Ho Chi Minh City, expanding to Da Nang, and now Hanoi, the Cathay Happy Run has steadily grown, becoming an annual event associated with an active lifestyle and a spirit of connection. Bringing the race to Hanoi marks a new milestone in its development journey, reflecting Cathay Life Vietnam's long-term commitment to the community.
