For a tree to provide shade, to offer fruits and blossoms to all living things, then itself must be healthy, sturdy, and full of life. For healthcare workers to best carry out their role of providing care for patients, they must first be healthy both physically and mentally. Exercising, including running is one of the most effective ways to achieve the goal mentioned above.

For this reason, the University Medical Centre of Ho Chi Minh City (UMC) pioneered the planning of the UMC Run 2024 - Reaching Aspiration as part of events honoring the university hospital's 30th anniversary. The purpose of the race was to foster relationships between health workers and one another as well as between health workers and the community and share positive messages about mental health.

The race was organized by the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City in collaboration with UNIQUE SERVICES TRADING INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED and Ho Chi Minh City Athletics Federation under the direction and guidance of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports.

Information about the race:

- Time: the afternoon of April 20 (Kids run) and April 21, 2024 (Official Race).

- Location: Van Phuc Urban Area, Thu Duc City.
