LHU RACE 2025: Joining the '10,000 Steps Daily Challenge'

Fostering Health, Building Sustainable Values in Higher Education

BIEN HOA, VIETNAM – In the era of globalization and digital transformation, maintaining physical and mental health is a pivotal factor for the holistic development of the younger generation. Embracing this trend, Lac Hong University (LHU) has officially launched LHU Race 2025, a meaningful online sports event designed to endorse the "Each Youth 10,000 Steps Per Day" campaign initiated by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.

LHU Race 2025, featuring walking, running, and cycling disciplines, is more than just a competition; it is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at raising public awareness about physical training. Organized entirely online on the Vietrace365 platform (registration link: https://vietrace365.com.vn/races/lhu-race-2025, registration code: LHU2025), the event offers maximum flexibility, allowing LHU students, faculty, and a large number of youth union members nationwide to participate anytime, anywhere, at no cost. This is a strategic move by LHU to cultivate a dynamic and healthy academic environment, laying the groundwork for both intellectual and physical development.

Vision and Core Values:

The primary objective of LHU Race 2025 extends beyond a typical sports event. It embodies LHU's unwavering commitment to contributing to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being and SDG 4: Quality Education. By promoting an active lifestyle, LHU plays a crucial role in shaping a generation of students who are not only academically proficient but also physically healthy and mentally resilient, ready to confront future challenges.

Through this activity, LHU also demonstrates its focus on the assessment criteria of the THE Impact Rankings:

• Outreach: LHU Race 2025 disseminates the message of health not only within the internal community but also attracts broad external participation, affirming LHU's role as a socially responsible educational institution.
• Stewardship: The race exemplifies LHU's effective and transparent management and organizational capabilities, while encouraging self-discipline and consistency in personal health maintenance.

LHU Race 2025 is not merely a competition but a testament to Lac Hong University's vision: a comprehensive educational environment where not only knowledge but also health, spirit, and a sense of community responsibility are nurtured. These are the core values LHU is committed to providing to its students and to society, contributing to building a sustainable future.
