The run was held in anticipation of the 75^th founding anniversary of the district’s Party organisation (June 15, 1949-2024) and 45 years since the district’s centre was moved to It Ong town (1979 - 2024), and in response to the campaign "All people do physical exercise following the example of great Uncle Ho".

The runners started from Van Bu bridge to Pom Luong peak in Tham Hon hamlet, Ta Bu commune.

The organising committee arranged many relay stations, with water and fruit, and health workers, to ensure safety for the athletes and support them throughout the race. Throngs of locals also came to cheer for the runners.

Athletes competed in running and climbing Pom Luong peak with a total distance of 7km, a challenging route with sharp and steep slopes through Tham Hon hamlet in Ta Bu commune, home to friendly and hospitable Mong ethnic minorities, and beautiful and peaceful natural scenery.

When reaching the peak, runners got a panoramic view of the majestic Son La hydropower project, the largest in Southeast Asia./.
