Every pair of running shoes carries the marks of perseverance, effort, and memorable journeys. But even after completing one journey, shoes that are still in good condition can continue to write a new story – a story of hope and sharing.
Following the success of the 2025 program, when more than 300 pairs of shoes were donated, the Standard Chartered Hanoi Marathon – Heritage Race 2026 officially brings back the “SHOES OF HOPE” initiative.
The Organizing Committee calls on the running community to come together and donate used shoes that are still in good condition, giving them to children and people facing difficult circumstances in remote and underserved areas.
Donate Old Shoes, Continue New Journeys
Through the Shoes of Hope program, the shoes that have accompanied runners across countless routes will have the opportunity to begin a new journey and bring practical value to those who need them.
This is not only a donation initiative, but also a way for the running community to spread the spirit of sharing and continue creating positive values through every step.
As a special thank-you for contributions from the community, each individual who donates shoes will receive a 30% discount voucher toward the purchase of new shoes from Zoseo Vietnam.
