The 8th Techcombank Ho Chi Minh City International Marathon once again affirmed its position as one of the city’s most iconic sports and tourism events. Nearly 23,000 runners came together in the spirit of “Running for a Greater Vietnam” embarking on a memorable journey from the lush greenery of Saigon Zoo & Botanical Garden through historical and modern landmarks of the city. From the Independence Palace and Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica to the vibrant Ba Son Bridge and the breezy riverside boulevard, every stride carried runners across layers of heritage and the ever-evolving rhythm of Ho Chi Minh City. The race concluded at the contemporary Empire City urban complex, offering a panoramic view of a city constantly rising and transforming. Beyond the race itself, this year’s event held profound humanitarian significance, contributing over VND 4.2 billion to charitable activities and showcasing a dynamic, inspiring, and livable Ho Chi Minh City to the world.

Amid this energetic atmosphere, Kanematsu Vietnam was proud to join the race for the second consecutive year with a team full of spirit and determination. Suzuk-san and Yokota-san conquered the full marathon, while Kuboki-san and Hung successfully completed the half-marathon. Other members participated in the 10 km and 5 km, each runner carrying not only personal goals but also a shared passion for spreading dedication, resilience, and enthusiasm to the community.

Techcombank Marathon 2025 concluded with unforgettable memories and remarkable achievements for Kanematsu Vietnam. We believe that the sportsmanship and positive energy from this year’s race will continue to grow beyond the event itself - becoming a healthy, long-term habit that accompanies every employee in daily life, and contributing to a more active, connected, and sustainable community.
