Many athletes participating in the Hanoi Heritage Marathon pledged to support a smoke-free race.

The fund's booth is located at Quan Ngua Sports Palace, which is the starting and finishing point of the race.

The organizers of the Standard Chartered Marathon Heritage Hanoi 2025 said they have completed all preparations to be ready to welcome athletes on the official race day of November 8-9. The 2025 season welcomes a sudden increase in the number of international athletes, with 2,500 athletes from nearly 70 countries, nearly double the number of the 2024 season.

Notably, Standard Chartered Marathon Heritage Hanoi 2025 is the first race in Vietnam to coordinate with the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund to implement a model of outdoor smoking-free space. The message of "Smoke-free Run" will be conveyed along the entire race route, through volunteers, through the participating athletes and the LED screen system in major cities such as Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. This is an important step to contribute to raising public awareness, reducing the burden of disease and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
