The racecourse is designed along the riverside area of the Thu Thiem urban area. The route is flat, wide, and open, suitable for various skill levels. The race is scheduled to start between 5-6h, allowing participants to enjoy cool weather and watch the sunrise over the Saigon River.

The event embodies the spirit of "Taking Each Step Forward", encouraging individuals to begin their health journey with small, personalized changes. By offering two introductory distances for running enthusiasts and removing financial barriers, the race expects to attract multi-generational runners, from young adults to middle-aged participants.

Samsung states that Galaxy Run is part of a health campaign focused on applying AI to personal health monitoring and care. The company believes many people want to improve their health but find it difficult to start and maintain, as not everyone knows what their body truly needs or how to train effectively.

Technology can help solve this problem, becoming a companion that assists individuals in understanding their bodies better each day. Samsung develops the Galaxy ecosystem to support users in proactively building a healthy lifestyle in a flexible and suitable way.

The Galaxy Watch8 series accompanies the event, a device that supports tracking metrics related to sleep, recovery, heart rate, and workout progress. Users can monitor daily health metrics and receive analyses and suggestions tailored to their physical condition, habits, and individual lifestyle.
