Standard Chartered Bank (Vietnam), in collaboration with the organizers of the Standard Chartered Hanoi Marathon Heritage Race, proudly introduces the “3F – Fun Fit Fest” initiative under the inspiring theme “Breaking Limits, Spreading Good Together.” This engaging program is a highlight of the marathon’s sideline activities and is open to all Vietnamese citizens.
Running from October 1 to November 4, 2025, the campaign aims to foster a healthier, more active community. Participants can join at their own pace and convenience, engaging in physical activities and sharing their journey on social media. Through the vRace mobile app, users can choose from three activities: running, walking, or cycling. Every verified kilometer logged on vRace translates into a VND 3,000 donation to the Will to Live Fund, empowering individuals with disabilities to launch businesses via the “Digital Business Startups” program.
Additionally, participants can amplify their impact by posting photos of their activities on Facebook with the following hashtags: #StandardCharteredVN #ButPhaVuonXa #StandardCharteredMarathon #SCHM2025 #FunFitFest #Ngayhoivuikhoetructuyen #NghiLucSong. Each valid post contributes VND 20,000 to the Fund, further supporting the cause.
Ms. Trinh Nhu Quynh, Head of Corporate Affairs, Brand and Marketing at Standard Chartered Bank Vietnam, remarked, “By joining ‘Fun Fit Fest,’ participants not only achieve personal milestones but also inspire a community-wide movement toward better physical and mental health. Sharing your fitness journey on social media amplifies this impact, while simultaneously supporting individuals with disabilities through the Will to Live Fund. We are deeply passionate about this initiative and confident it will garner widespread community support.”
Will to Live, established in 2008, is a social enterprise dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities and disadvantaged groups. Through free IT vocational training and job creation, the organization helps participants achieve independence and self-reliance. To date, Will to Live has trained over 1,560 students, with 70% securing employment post-graduation, driving sustainable development and social equity in Vietnam.
The Standard Chartered Hanoi Marathon 2025, the 10th edition of the globally acclaimed Standard Chartered Marathon series, will take place on November 9, 2025, at Quan Ngua Sports Palace in Hanoi. As the main sponsor, Standard Chartered reaffirms its enduring commitment to Vietnam, spanning over 120 years.
