The "Run For Children 2026" race, organized to commemorate Western Pacific Group’s (WPG) 20th anniversary, is scheduled for the morning of september 6 at Yen Phong II-A Industrial Park in Bac Ninh province.
According to the organizers, the event expects to gather over 200 athletes, including WPG staff, clients, partners, investors, representatives from business associations, regulatory agencies, and the local community. Participants will run a 4 km distance in a non-competitive format, with no entry fees.
The race emphasizes connecting sports with community engagement. For each athlete who successfully completes the 4 km course, WPG will contribute 2 million VND to the "Fueling the Future" scholarship program. This initiative plans to award 200 scholarships to local students facing difficulties, who have overcome challenges and achieved good academic results.

A company representative stated that this activity aligns with the company's commitment to linking its two-decade development milestone with social responsibility. The program's theme, "20 Years of Steady Steps - Fueling the Future," is structured in two parts: "20 Years of Steady Steps" reflects WPG’s journey since 2006, while "Fueling the Future" focuses on transforming corporate values into initiatives that support the local younger generation.
Beyond supporting and sharing social responsibility through the "Fueling the Future" scholarship program, the race also connects staff, clients, partners, investors, business associations, and the local community. It serves as an opportunity for all stakeholders to participate in a community sports event, spreading positive energy, a healthy lifestyle. The entire 4 km route for "Run For Children 2026" is set within the Yen Phong II-A Industrial Park. This allows participating clients, partners, investors, and community members to directly experience the space, scenery, and infrastructure of the project.
Located 15 km from Noi Bai International Airport, Yen Phong II-A Industrial Park spans 151,27 ha and is a key project for Western Pacific Group in the northern region. With this race, WPG hopes its 20-year milestone will be recognized not only by business figures and growth but also through a community activity with direct participation from employees, partners, and the local community. "Each completed 4 km will become a contribution, providing more educational opportunities for underprivileged students and spreading humanitarian values," a Western Pacific Group representative stated.
