Metfone And The “Run For A Better Life” Event For The Community

The “BIDC & METFONE – Run for a Better Life 2024” marathon event officially kicks off at Peng Huot on June 23, aiming to bring positive values to the community. The event is co-organized by BIDC and Metfone. Going beyond a typical sports activity, the “BIDC & METFONE – Run for a Better Life 2024” is a charity fundraising marathon. All running achievements will be converted into money, which will be donated by the organizers to Cho Ray Phnom Penh Hospital, with the aim of supporting the hospital in its community medical activities. Accordingly, the marathon will have two activities: the Online Run and the Offline Race, which serves as a kickoff event for the online run. The offline activity will take place from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM on Sunday, June 23, 2024, with a running distance of approximately 5 km. For the online running program, participants register through the BIDCRun mobile application (automatically connected to the Strava app upon registration) and freely engage in walking/running activities outdoors at any time and location. For every valid kilometer run in the program, the system will convert the contribution amount to 500 KHR/km (calculated based on the total kilometers achieved by the participant). With the desire to spread the love of sports in general, running in particular, and the humanitarian significance of the marathon, Metfone and BIDC announced that this will become an annual event. They aim to promote the sports movement and improve the health of not only BIDC - METFONE employees but also the community as a whole.
