Participants including visually-impaired people and sighted pairs will hold hands and run together on two different routes - 1.7km or 3.4km, equivalent to one round and two round trips around the lake.
Besides the race, people will also learn how the blind use canes, write and read. They can play chess together or enjoy musical performances by the blind.
The event is organised by Vietnam and Friends – a Vietnamese non-profit organisation advocating improved public awareness on issues about disabled people, especially their access to education.
