At the race, 15 athletes demonstrated the results of their accumulated training, unanimously choosing the 10km distance (the longest distance of the race) and completing the race to win medals. Runner Nguyen Thanh Tung was the member with the best performance of the club, finishing with a time of 44 minutes, ranking 11th out of more than 250 athletes participating in this distance and 5 other members also had outstanding results when completing the race in under an hour.

Welcoming the club members at the finish line were Chairman of the Trade Union Do Ngoc Thuy and many fans, along with members of the Ministry's Trade Union who love running. This is a great encouragement for the athletes participating in the tournament in particular and the running club in general, as the Ministry's Trade Union has always accompanied and supported them in many activities since its establishment. Through these activities, the Ministry's Trade Union supports the club in spreading the joy of training, the health and mental benefits that the sport brings to diplomatic staff, so the movement has increasingly attracted the attention and participation of many members.
