For runners, each distance is not only a personal effort but also a practical contribution to the community, especially when those distance are converted into a source of support for social organizations" - Ms. Quynh said.
This year, Quang Binh Runners Club is very happy because the running movement in Quang Tri is growing strongly, many young people and new clubs are participating more enthusiastically.
