Throughout March, many large-scale sports activities took place sôi nổi in many provinces and cities across the country from the series of events Olympic Running Day - For National Health - For National Security in 2026 to the Running Race to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Traditional Day of Vietnam's Sports and Physical Training (TDTT) and International Day of Happiness. These activities not only attract a large number of people to participate but also clearly demonstrate the leading role of management agencies and local authorities in promoting a dynamic and healthy lifestyle in the community.

According to a representative of the Ministry of Public Security shared directly in his speech at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Running Day - For All People's Health - For National Security in 2026 in Hanoi on March 22, "The Olympic Running Day for All People's Health event series is not just a simple sports activity but a political activity with profound significance with the belief in a strong and steadfast Vietnam, entering a new era, an era of prosperous and strong development of the nation. This is a clear proof of the spirit of national unity, the determination to train the body of the entire people for the goal of health to build and protect the country.

Through these events, it can be seen that sports are no longer an activity exclusively for professional athletes, but have become a part of daily life. From mass running events to regular training activities, more and more Vietnamese people actively take care of their physical and mental health - a very positive sign for the future.

Water supply for more than 26,000 people in just 2 days

As a companion unit, in just 2 days (January 21-22), Pocari Sweat supplied water to more than 26,000 people participating in events in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City through a system of reasonably arranged water supply stations along the running routes.

Previously, at the Running Race to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Traditional Day of Vietnamese Physical Education and Sports and International Day of Happiness 2026 in Hanoi on March 21, Pocari Sweat arranged ionized water supply stations in a timely manner for more than 1,500 people to complete the journey around Hoan Kiem Lake in a complete way.

Although events take place continuously in different locations in a short period of time, Pocari Sweat still ensures accurate operating resources, helping participants quickly replenish water, supplement ions and maintain performance in hot weather conditions, thereby fully enjoying the running experience. This is also a clear proof of Pocari Sweat's commitment to contributing to the development of the sports movement in Vietnam.
