Kun Marathon is a running event for children aged 6–10, launched in 2020 by the Kun brand under LOF International Milk Joint Stock Company. It has become one of the most anticipated free playgrounds for millions of parents and children nationwide.

On November 29, in Hanoi’s early winter chill, thousands of children eagerly joined the race, marking the 5th anniversary of Kun Marathon. Trần Nhân Tông pedestrian street in Hai Bà Trưng District was buzzing with excitement as more than 2,000 kids participated in this special sports event for children.

Since its debut in 2020, Kun Marathon has grown beyond a simple race—it is now a platform for physical education, fostering healthy habits and resilience among Vietnamese children. This free event is eagerly awaited by parents every year because its value goes far beyond the finish line.

In the crisp winter air, children donned colorful race shirts and warmed up under the cheers of their parents. When the MC asked, “Who wants to be the champion?” thousands of hands shot up, and cheers echoed across the street—a testament to the excitement and determination of these young athletes.

The race course was fully enclosed for safety, with over 100 volunteers and medical staff on standby. Participants were grouped by age, distinguished by shirt colors, with the youngest group (6 years old) starting first.

But Kun Marathon is more than running—it’s a journey of self-discovery through fun challenges like inflatable jelly castles and giant jelly mountains. These “obstacles” are actually playful activities that help children build perseverance, teamwork, and coordination, while promoting an active lifestyle and sportsmanship.

Each challenge is a lesson in resilience, and every step is an opportunity to form healthy habits. Parents accompany their children not only to cheer but to share unforgettable moments, strengthening family bonds. As the organizers emphasize:
“Sports connect generations, teaching kids persistence and active living. A day spent in sports with your child is a day of love, bonding, and beautiful childhood memories.”

Kun Marathon is part of the program “Move Every Day with Kun – Do Good Every Day with Kun.”
