An Olympic day run titled “For public health and the International Day of Happiness” was launched by the Quang Ninh provincial People’s Committee on March 24 at the Square of October 30 in Ha Long city.
Prominent among those at the event was Quang Ninh’s Vice Chairwoman Vu Thi Thu Thuy.
The run was meant to mark the 73rd anniversary of National Sports Day, the day that Uncle Ho wrote the article titled “Exercising for health, calling people to exercise” to raise people’s awareness about the important role of exercise in protecting health, improving their quality of life and the quality of human resources, creating a healthy community and strengthening solidarity among people.
After the launching ceremony, around 1,000 people, including provincial leaders, workers, members of the armed forces, students, youths, workers and seniors, altogether took part in the run.
