The event saw the participation of over 1,000 athletes from departments, agencies, districts, and Son La city, as well as armed forces, organisations, businesses, and communes, and Thuan Chau town within the district.

The athletes competed in three groups. The first comprised the collectives of Standing Board of the Party Committee, the People’s Council, the People’s Committee of Thuan Chau district, along with leaders of communes, Thuan Chau town, and schools in the district. The second consisted of male and female runners from agencies, units, commune and town People’s Committees, and schools. The third featured male and female athletes from sports clubs and independent runners.

This year’s race took place in favourable weather conditions. The athletes competed in the 5,000m and 6,500m distances along scenic routes winding through vast, lush green tea hills. The enthusiastic cheers and encouragement from local residents and tourists along the racecourse provided the athletes with extra motivation and determination to reach the finish line.

At the end of the race, the organisers awarded six first, 12 second, and 18 third prizes. They also presented awards to the oldest and youngest runners participating in the event.
