Community run marks 80th anniversary of Vietnam People’s Public Security

The provincial Department of Public Security on August 16 hosted a community run at Tay Bac (Northwest) Square to mark the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Public Security (August 19, 1945–2025) and the 20th anniversary of the All People's Security Safeguard Festival (August 19, 2005).

 

The community run is held at Tay Bac (Northwest) Square.

The run drew 600 participants, including officers, soldiers, students, civil servants, and local residents. Runners were split into two waves, with women tackling a 3 km course and men running 5 km. The route kicked off from Tay Bac Square and wound through the main streets of Chieng Coi ward.
