Each kilometer contributes to creating value for the community. Entering the 10th season, that journey continues to spread sustainable values and open up many "future paths" for many generations of students.
With the theme "Opening the Way to the Future - Paving the Way", Edurun 2026 closed with many aftertastes, marking the milestone of 10 sustainable seasons of the "Run for Health - Run for Education - Run for the Community" award organized by Vinschool Education System.
This year, in addition to online running and offline running weeks at Vinschool facilities, Edurun continues to expand sideline activities, such as: visiting and supporting necessities for remote and isolated school sites, spreading the commemorative MV "Step to the Future - Paving the Way". All of these attract the large participation of students, parents and teachers. Through this, students not only train physically but also directly participate in the process of creating value for the community, forming a sense of responsibility and a spirit of sharing.
Initiated in 2015, Edurun always pursues a consistent philosophy: Education does not only take place in the classroom, but is formed through experience, action and responsibility to the community. On that basis, the program always promotes physical training, nurtures a positive lifestyle and creates opportunities for students to participate in activities that create real value.
After 10 seasons, Edurun has attracted more than 255,000 participants, mobilizing nearly 30 billion VND, thereby contributing to building and renovating many school sites in remote and isolated areas across the country such as: Son La, Dien Bien, Tuyen Quang, Quang Tri... These projects contribute to improving facilities and creating long-term value for difficult areas.
In Dien Bien - one of the localities clearly marking the effectiveness of the program, school sites after being invested have had changes in classroom size, and conditions for caring for and educating students have been improved.
“Edurun's support also helps teachers feel secure in their work, stick to schools and villages to teach literacy to students in difficult areas,” shared Ms. Vu Thuy Lan - Principal of Muong Dun Kindergarten, Dien Bien province.
Ms. Tran Mai Phuong - Principal of Vinschool Primary, Secondary and High School - said that the difference of Edurun does not lie in the scale or implementation time, but in the consistent goal. Throughout 10 seasons, the program has always maintained a connection between physical training and community action, thereby forming in students self-reliance, sharing spirit and sense of social responsibility.
Edurun's forms of participation and fundraising are also designed to be diverse, from direct running, online running to personal contributions and companion activities, creating conditions for each member to participate in an appropriate way, towards a common goal.
After a decade, Edurun has gone beyond the framework of the charity program, becoming a component of the Vinschool education ecosystem, integrating values of physical, intellectual and social responsibility in students' journey of maturity," Ms. Phuong emphasized.
From those persistent steps, "future roads" are gradually being built by Edurun, opening up opportunities not only for Vinschool students but also for many students in remote areas across Vietnam.
