Desk Drawer is a project on education and school psychology, founded by high school students in Hanoi in 2020. The project is now in its 4th season, and this is also the second year that the running competition for students who are passionate about sports, called "PHA-CINATE", has been organized.
The race is not just a sporting event but also a completely new experience, helping to turn the running journey into an exciting and meaningful adventure, instead of the usual feeling of fatigue.
Inspired by popular TV shows like “Running Man” and “The Amazing Race,” “CINATE” is a physical endurance competition combined with mind-boggling puzzles that spans multiple stages. This year, the competition attracted more than 500 athletes, divided into three age groups: under 16, 16-22, and over 23.
Head of the organizing committee of the 2024 PHA-CINATE race, Han Khanh Linh, shared: “Our main goal when organizing this program is not just to build achievements or beautify personal profiles. We really want to bring practical value to the community. In the digital age, especially for students, people are too focused on electronic devices and gradually forget the importance of sports and health. That is why we decided to organize the 'PHA-CINATE' race to encourage everyone to participate in physical activities."
