Cau Dat Hybrid Run 2026 Kicks Off in Celebration of Da Lat Flower Festival
On October 31, the Xuan Truong–Da Lat Ward People's Committee and International Media Corporation (IMC) signed a cooperation agreement to organize the Cau Dat Hybrid Run 2026 in celebration of the 11th Da Lat Flower Festival.
The event saw the participation of Truong Trung Thang, Deputy Secretary of the Ward Party Committee and Chairman of the Xuan Truong–Da Lat Ward People's Committee, along with leaders from the ward, and representatives from various departments, agencies, mass organizations, and all 12 residential groups.
On behalf of the partner organizations, Lam Anthony, CEO of TodayTV, represented IMC Group, along with representatives from supporting partners.
The event is scheduled to take place over two days, specifically on December 26 and 27, 2026, drawing around 1,000 participants competing in three distances: 5 km, 15 km, and 30 km.
The anticipated courses will feature a mix of paved roads and natural surfaces, highlighting Cau Dat's unique scenery, which includes tea plantations, agricultural areas, wind farms, and places ideal for cloud watching.
The race aims to encourage physical fitness and sports participation, showcase local scenery and culture, and develop an additional tourism offering in conjunction with the Da Lat Flower Festival.
During her speech at the event, Ho Thi Bich Van, Vice Chairwoman of the Xuan Truong–Da Lat Ward People's Committee, highlighted the importance of strong collaboration among various departments, agencies, mass organizations, and the event organizer to create a comprehensive plan and ensure professional organization.
It is essential to thoroughly review operational arrangements, logistics, public safety, traffic management, and medical services to ensure favorable and safe conditions for both participants and local residents.
One of the key features of the race is the "Every Kilometer – A Gesture of Love" program. Through this initiative, for every kilometer run, VND 1,000 will be donated to the Xuan Truong–Da Lat Ward Study Promotion Fund.
The goal of this initiative is to link athletic activities with community support and to assist underprivileged students who show a strong dedication to their education.
