The event draws 600 athletes aged 12 to 18 from schools across 75 communes and wards in the province. Over three days from April 23 to 25, secondary school athletes will compete in 22 events, including track races (60m, 100m, 200m, 600m, 800m and 1,500m), high jump, long jump and ball throwing. High school athletes will compete in 17 events, including track races (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1,500m and 3,000m), as well as high jump, long jump and shot put (3kg and 5kg).

Following the opening ceremony, athletes began competition in the 60m and 100m sprint events across both categories.

The tournament is held to sustain and promote the “All People Exercise Following the Example of President Ho Chi Minh” campaign, boost participation in sports and improve physical fitness. It also serves to assess the quality of physical education in schools and identify promising talent for high-performance training at the provincial level.
