In just two weeks, over 2,800 Darriors and ultramarathoner Nguyen Van Long achieved the remarkable feat of surpassing their fundraising goal for a bridge in Dong Thap, demonstrating the powerful impact of sports for the community.
Dare To Run: A Gathering of Bold “Darrior”
With the aspiration to build a “Darrior” community – individuals pushing their limits, Kusto Home’s online running challenge, Dare To Run, has become a meaningful playground. Beyond a simple competition, Dare To Run serves as a gathering place for passionate individuals to spread the spirit of sportsmanship and contribute to their communities.
Each year, the race sets ambitious goals, not only in terms of distance covered but also in terms of its social impact. In 2023, over 2,200 Darriors across Vietnam collectively ran 100,000 kilometers and raised VND200 million for bridge construction in Son La Province.
Continuing its impactful journey, Dare To Run 2024 has set even more ambitious targets: 150,000 kilometers and VND150 million to support bridge construction in Dong Thap Province. With each edition, the Darrior community not only expands in numbers but also solidifies its reputation as a united, dynamic and compassionate group.
Nguyen Van Long x Dare to Run: 2 Journeys, 1 Goal
As the first Vietnamese marathoner to successfully conquer the arduous cross-country running challenges from Tra Co to Ca Mau and Hanoi to Saigon, Nguyen Van Long has solidified his status as a true “Darrior” – a relentless conqueror who consistently pushes the boundaries of human potential.
His unwavering courage and iron will have not only inspired the sports community but also encapsulated the core values of the Dare To Run race series: daring to dream, daring to do, and combining an athletic passion with a spirit of philanthropy.
By partnering with Dare To Run 2024 as an ambassador, Nguyen Van Long has provided a living testament to the powerful connection between athletic pursuits and social responsibility. Sharing a common goal, both the athlete and the race series aim to promote a healthy lifestyle, encourage individuals to push their limits, and make a positive impact on society.

In just two weeks, over 2,800 Darriors have collectively achieved a remarkable feat.
With their passionate strides, members of the Darrior community not only conquered countless kilometers but also surpassed all challenges to exceed the Dare To Run 2024 target of 150,000 kilometers. Simultaneously, they have raised VND150 million for a community development fund, partnering with the Hope Foundation to build a dream bridge for the residents of Tan Lap Hamlet, Tan Quy Tay Commune, Sa Dec City, Dong Thap Province.
Thanks to the active contributions of Ambassador Nguyen Van Long and the Dare To Run community, a new bridge will soon connect the riverbanks, bringing new opportunities to the local people. This demonstrates that running is not merely a sport but also a tool for creating positive change within communities.
Although the overarching goal has been successfully attained, the competitive spirit of the Darriors remains strong. The race will continue until August 30th to determine the top 100 runners, fostering a passion for running and spreading the spirit of unity among the Darrior community.
