BritCham Fun Run 26: Thousands of Runners in Ho Chi Minh City

3/15/2026 6:56:11 PM

A sunny Sunday morning at The Global City came alive with excitement as thousands of participants gathered for the 26th BritCham Fun Run, one of the most anticipated community sporting events in Ho Chi Minh City.


Organized by the British Chamber of Commerce Vietnam (BritCham), the annual event attracted a diverse crowd including entrepreneurs, expatriates of many nationalities living and working in Vietnam, local employees, families, and members of the international community.



From the early hours of the morning, the starting area was filled with vibrant colors as runners in bright jerseys gathered amid lively music and cheerful smiles. More than just a sporting event, the BritCham Fun Run serves as a meaningful occasion for the business community and residents to connect, stay active, and promote a positive lifestyle.

Chao Vietnam marks over a decade of media partnership

For more than 10 years, Chao Vietnam has proudly supported the event as an official media partner, helping promote this meaningful community initiative. Over the past decade, the media platform has played an active role in sharing the stories, images, and spirit of the BritCham Fun Run with business communities and readers both in Vietnam and internationally.




Vibrant atmosphere at the starting line

In addition to its media support, Chao Vietnam also worked with partners to contribute valuable prizes for the event’s lucky draw program.

Notably, two well-known resorts — Centara Mirage Resort Mui Ne and New World Phu Quoc Resort — partnered with Chao Vietnam by sponsoring premium resort stay vouchers for lucky participants. Beyond providing prizes, both resorts also sent representatives and staff teams to join the run, adding energy and color to the festive atmosphere.

A long-standing community running tradition

According to the organizers, the BritCham Fun Run is among the largest and longest-running community running events in Vietnam. Beyond encouraging an active lifestyle, the event also carries significant humanitarian value as it raises funds for various charities and community support projects.

Along the running route within The Global City, participants could choose distances suitable for their fitness levels, welcoming both first-time runners and amateur athletes. Many families joined the run with their children, creating a heartwarming image of a friendly and inclusive sports festival.

Cheerful encouragement, joyful laughter, and a strong sense of community made this year’s event a truly memorable occasion. The participation of businesses, organizations, and partners further highlighted the enduring appeal and social value of the BritCham Fun Run after more than two decades of organization.

With the success of its 26th edition, the BritCham Fun Run continues to affirm its position as one of Ho Chi Minh City’s most prominent community sporting events—where athletic spirit, business networking, and charitable activities come together in a vibrant celebration of health and positivity.
