More than 800 runners from 43 countries around the globe came together to “Run for Bears” to signal their strong support for the closing of bear farms, the reduction of bear bile demand, and expediting an end to the cruel and illegal bear bile industry.
Hanoi Red River Runners hosted this year’s 11th Annual Hanoi Half Marathon organized by Sporting Republic, in partnership with Education for Nature – Vietnam (ENV). This year’s event marks the fifth consecutive year that the race has run to benefit wildlife protection in Vietnam, and forms part of Vietnam’s National Bear Week, with activities to be held by ENV, World Animal Protection and Four Paws.
