On November 15–16, the IronTeen Club completed an inspiring and challenging journey at the Yen Tu Heritage Marathon 2025 — a race renowned for its scenic course winding through bamboo forests, rocky streams, and the iconic steep slopes of Mount Yen Tu. As one of the largest marathons in Northern Vietnam, the event offers runners the chance to experience the nation’s cultural and natural heritage with every step they take.
This year, IronTeen showed up in full spirit with:
🏃 8 Mentors
🏃 16 students conquering 10km
🏃 10 students taking on the 21km challenge
From the early-morning start in the mountain mist to the demanding uphill climbs, IronTeen members demonstrated admirable perseverance and determination. They ran not only to complete their distances but also to cheer, support, and uplift one another — embodying the true spirit of Resilience that defines both IronTeen and True North.
By the end of the race, every student carried home meaningful lessons and powerful emotions: endurance, discipline, and confidence in their ability to push beyond their limits. Congratulations to the IronTeen Club for an unforgettable and inspiring journey!
