On the morning of June 19, 2025, Tra Vinh University campus hosts a vibrant and engaging sports event – a cross-country run celebrating the 19th anniversary of Tra Vinh University (June 19, 2006 – June 19, 2025) and welcoming the University’s Party Committee Congress for the 2025-2030 term.
The activity promotes mass participation and encourages staff, union members, and workers to join sports activities. It creates opportunities for staff, union members, and workers to regularly practice their favorite sports to strengthen their bodies, improve their health, and better serve their work and labor duties. The event simultaneously creates a joyful and healthy atmosphere, builds team spirit, facilitates exchanges and mutual understanding, thereby contributing to developing an increasingly widespread sports movement among staff, union members, and workers at Tra Vinh University.
Nearly 100 athletes participate in the cross-country run, including staff, union members, and workers currently employed at Tra Vinh University. The organizers divide the athletes into two groups: male and female staff and workers, with a 2km route for women and a 4km route for men, running around the main campus.
Speaking at the competition, comrade Nguyen Nhat Thanh – Chairman of Tra Vinh University’s grassroots trade union shares: “Today’s cross country run serves as a practical activity celebrating the 19th anniversary of Tra Vinh University’s establishment, while demonstrating the spirit of responding to the sports and physical training movement throughout the university. This allows each staff member, union member, and worker to strengthen their health, tighten team spirit, and build a more dynamic, positive, and cohesive working environment.”
Under the early morning sunlight, athletes enter the race with enthusiasm and determination. Cheers and encouragement echo throughout the campus, creating a vibrant atmosphere that supports a positive, competitive spirit. Many beautiful moments are captured: powerful running steps, handshakes of encouragement after crossing the finish line, demonstrating team spirit, wholehearted competition, and fair play.
After the competition, the organizing committee representatives congratulate and present awards to athletes who achieve outstanding results. Each competition group (male and female) receives one first prize, 1 second prize, one third prize, and 15 encouragement prizes, recognizing the athletes’ efforts and sporting spirit.
The cross-country run serves as a practical activity celebrating the 19th anniversary of Tra Vinh University’s establishment while providing a beneficial playground that helps spread sporting spirit, raise health training awareness, and strengthen team spirit among all staff, union members, and workers at the university. The event left many positive impressions, providing additional motivation for competitive movements and activities and building a friendly, positive working environment throughout the university.
