The Lakes Race

Tiếng Việt / English

Next Edition on May, 26th, 2024

Our latest and 5th edition was a blast last June. We invited and sponsored 438 orphans to join the fun alongside 2000 runners. For our 6th edition on May 26, 2024, we plan to invite 600 orphans to join 2500 runners, and we are excited to host our first 25km race.

We are a family-oriented race that offers challenging and scenic routes for both adults and kids, bringing together the Vietnamese and international communities. As the years pass, our concept remains unchanged and we still enjoy the lakes of Ho Da located 20 min from D2 (HCMC).

Each registration helps the organizers provide a complete race kit to each orphan, including shoes and socks if needed. We take care of all the logistics for orphanages participating in the race. At the end of the event, each orphanage receives a donation based on the contributions from the participants. More info can be found here.

Run 4 Orphans

"Running allows orphans to dream bigger, gain confidence, and enhance their self-esteem."

We aim to create opportunities for all kids and orphans participating in the race to engage in social activities and build their confidence. Our main values are:

Nothing is granted: You need to commit to get results.
Diversity is gold: We can learn from anyone, especially when it's unexpected.
Confidence improved: Anything is possible in a race, and you can feel the love.

Be one of the 150 teams in the race

Join us as an individual or as a team. To create a team, you simply need at least 5 runners in one distance. We had 110 teams during the 5th edition, and we expect more than 150 teams to compete for the trophy this year. More info can be found here.

If you represent a company, you can also become one of our sponsor. You will enjoy a booth at the race village, have your logo on the T-shirts if you are a silver or gold sponsor, and more. Have a look here.

Let's make the party bigger with more people, more families, more schools, more orphans, and more teams joining the team challenge, and let's have fun.

Distances

A Unique Race

The Andros The Lakes Race is a distinctive race around Saigon (20 min from D2, HCMC), combining trail and road. Runners will explore the beautiful campus of Ho Da, around the Vietnam National University Campus, where five gorgeous lakes dominate the landscape, with races ranging from the 600m Baby Race to the 25km run. The race is fun and family-oriented but still competitive, thanks to the participation of famous runners.

We aim to make it a green and clean race through the support of our partners, community, and various initiatives, including a limited number of banners, recycled medals, and recycled T-shirts thanks to MUDE and HRK.
