In order to create a sports playground that contributes to improving the physical and mental health of officials and students, as well as creating connections and exchanges between officials and students, Ton Duc Thang University has cooperated with UpRace and organized a running program for the community on the UpRace platform exclusively for staff and students of the University. Accordingly, each athlete completed a distance of 5 km, and the total number of kilometers contributed was more than 6,000 km.

The special thing about the event is that every kilometer of running recorded on the UpRace app will be converted into 1,000 VND to support two social organizations: The Association in Support of Vietnamese Handicapped and Orphans (ASVHO) and Save Vietnam's Wildlife (SVW). The UpRace crowdfunding running event took place online from October 28 to November 20, 2022, attracting more than 350,000 participants across Vietnam as well as 10 countries around the world. The number of valid kilometers recorded has reached nearly 5 million kilometers, equivalent to nearly 5 billion VND that have been donated to the two social organizations mentioned above.

"At Ton Duc Thang University, the University has invested methodically in education and sports training as a solution for students to have a strong constitution to help them study better; Teaching students about discipline and perseverance. Besides, from sports, students are also educated in teamwork for the sake of the collective and community. Athletes participating in UpRace are engaging in a meaningful activity, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Vietnamese Teachers' Day and making practical contributions to the community".
