The race is organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Central Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology, coordinated and operated by Nexus Sport Event, continuing to attract the running lover community as well as individuals interested in charity activities.
According to the organizers, the highlight of this year's tournament lies in the message of linking sports with social responsibility. Each registration (BIB) will contribute 50,000 VND to the fund to support surgery for children with cleft lip and palate defects. Through this, participants not only complete their personal goals but also contribute to bringing treatment opportunities for unfortunate children.
The Smile Run 2026 includes distances of 5km, 10km, 21km and 30km, suitable for many athlete groups. The competition route is designed to start and finish at the Creative Park (An Khanh ward), connecting typical green spaces of the city such as Ben Bach Dang Park, Thanh My Loi Park and Thu Thiem Riverside Park.
The organizers said that the route is built according to safety and science criteria, combining flat road sections and airy riverside routes, in order to create favorable conditions for athletes to compete as well as experience green urban space.
In addition, the Race Kit system is designed with blue-orange tones, aiming for dynamism and a message of hope. Athletes who complete the 10km, 21km and 30km distances will be awarded Finisher shirts as a form of recognition of personal efforts.
With synchronous investment in organization, routes and experiences, the Smile Run 2026 is expected to continue to be one of the outstanding mass races in Ho Chi Minh City, while spreading a positive message to the community.
