Having worked with Tuoi Tre newspaper for many years in many competitions, Ms. Tran Thu Huong said that choosing quality articles was really difficult and mentally taxing for the judges.

Sharing at the program, Mr. Yen Bach (25 years old) - author of the article "Spring running road on provincial road 639" - expressed his joy and surprise when his work won first prize in the contest.

This dentist chose Tet to run on the road in his hometown Binh Dinh.

Mr. Yen Bach said that young people today have gradually focused on health issues through exercise, and jogging is considered a simple yet effective sport that only requires a good pair of shoes, a good route, and does not necessarily require teammates.

"I just started running a year ago. In my opinion, running, whether short or long, helps relieve stress, clears blood vessels, and brings good spirit and energy to health. When running, whether old or young, you need to pay attention to listening to yourself and your breathing rhythm," he confided.

This year, the competition's prize structure includes cash and gifts: 1 first prize (15 million VND), 2 second prizes (7 million VND/prize), 3 third prizes (5 million VND/prize), 10 consolation prizes (1 million VND/prize).
