On the morning of February 7th, at the Hanoi Botanical Garden, the Blind People's Club for Running – under the patronage of the Vietnam Association of the Blind – organized the "Running with the Blind" event with the theme "Overcoming the Darkness".

Meaningful activities for the visually impaired in Hanoi.

The event aims to encourage the community to join hands in helping visually impaired people access running, while also inspiring them to confidently break down all barriers.

Currently, the club has about 100 members, including visually impaired people and guides, becoming a common home where people connect and share.

The club has three visually impaired athletes (Vu Tien Manh, Vu Kim Thuy, and Ta Dinh Han) who were selected for the Vietnamese National Paralympic Athletics Team to compete in the Asian Para Games and won many medals.

From a community movement, these lightless runs are opening up a promising path to professional sports for visually impaired people in Vietnam.
