Herbalife engages runners through nutrition, fitness at VnExpress Marathon Vung Tau

Herbalife, a global nutrition company, participated in the inaugural VnExpress Marathon held in Vung Tau, Vietnam. The event featured three distances - 5km, 10km, and 21km - with courses set along the coastal roads of Vung Tau. Senior Communications Director at Herbalife Vietnam, Nguyen Thanh Dat, emphasized the importance of both regular physical activity and daily nutrition for long-term health.

Running, being an accessible sport, was one of the reasons Herbalife chose to support the marathon, according to Dat. The race expo held at Thuy Van Square on August 28 and 29 featured Herbalife's booths with nutrition and exercise-themed games where participants could take photos, engage in physical activities, and receive electrolyte and herbal drinks.

Vietnamese taekwondo athlete, Chau Tuyet Van, showcased martial arts, interacted with visitors, and led exercises at the booth. On race day, Herbalife's presence continued with independent members donning the brand's green apparel and accessories. Dat was particularly proud to have over 2,000 independent members participate in the marathon, describing them as ambassadors for an active and healthy lifestyle.

Amongst the participants was Nguyen Van Nhan from An Giang, who chose the challenging 21km distance for his first organized running event. He attributed his confidence to regular fitness training and daily nutritional preparation. Dat, himself a participant in the 5km race, highlighted the strong participation and enthusiasm from runners, stating that the event aligned with Herbalife's mission to promote healthier communities through balanced nutrition and an active lifestyle.
