Nearly 1,200 students of Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) participated in coordinating the 2018 International Marathon held in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) from 1st to 2nd of December, 2018. This event with the participation of more than 5,000 athletes from 44 countries around the world was organized by the Department of Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City in coordination with Techcombank. There were more than 50 athletes who are TDTU lecturers, staff and students participating in the 5km road race.
Becoming volunteers at major sporting events is a chance for TDTU students in general and students of the Faculty of Sports Science in particular to contribute to the community; have the opportunity to get experiences in the real events; exchange with athletes and organizers to learn more skills and experience in the field of events, teamwork, etc.
The 2018 International Marathon ended successfully. The funds from the prize will be used for charitable activities. The contribution of TDTU students to the event reflected the spirit of pure sports and the sense of community service which are commendable.
