P2P Community: Run to connect, reach far

When it comes to P2P Community, runners always express their admiration for the team whose members are mostly runners who come together with a boundless passion for sports , along with many meaningful social activities.

Growing stronger

Initially gathered in June 2023 with a number of enthusiastic runners, in less than 2 years, P2P Community has grown very quickly and currently has approximately 4,000 members.

P2P Community is not only about running. Many members of the group also bond together through their passion for cycling, swimming, etc., aiming to create a diverse environment of activities in many different sports with a community nature.

According to Mr. Le Van Tai, founder of P2P Community, the group has almost never missed any major races held in Ho Chi Minh City as well as in other provinces and cities. At least a few hundred, but at most, P2P Community mobilizes thousands or more people to participate in the race, creating a strong impression.

Always loyal to the goal and motto of spreading the running spirit and building a friendly environment in the group, P2P Community focuses on physical training in addition to creating a space for communication, learning and self-development for each member. P2P Community regularly "designs" offline training sessions, introduces sports events and organizes volunteer activities to promote the spirit of solidarity and sharing.

With the mission of "providing optimal solutions for runners", P2P Community has closely cooperated with many partners and corporate customers to create conditions for athletes to participate in tournaments in the spirit of "saving, convenient, effective". With the slogan "Run to connect - Connect to reach far", P2P Community is constantly expanding and welcoming new members, from those who have just started running to professional athletes.

Opportunity to contribute to the community and society

The 2nd "Proud of My Fatherland" Half-marathon - 2025 is held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025); the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper (July 28, 1975 - July 28, 2025). This community sports event also aims to respond to the widespread implementation of the campaign "All people exercise following the example of great Uncle Ho" with the goal of improving people's health as well as enhancing the quality of life.

In the spirit of responding to this meaningful community sports event, P2P Community set a goal to run for fun, health and to surpass themselves. Many runners set a goal to achieve Sub 2 (under 2 hours), Sub 1:45 (under 1 hour 45 minutes) for the first time or to break their previous personal results.

To ensure the best form for the "Proud of My Fatherland" Half-marathon as well as for the entire 2025 season, P2P Community members maintain weekly training, including during the recent Lunar New Year. The group also organizes pacers to support athletes in achieving their personal performance targets.
