Mr. Truong Van Hieu, captain of the GS2_Run for KPI team, said: “Marverse is a novel contest that helps create a fun competition among Starters. To be the best team, eight people from the GS2 team had to challenge our limits. In the end, everyone was proud of ourselves.”

Ho Anh Khoa, Marverse’s best male athlete, said: “For me, Marverse is a competition to challenge willpower, determination, and physicality. I never thought I could run that far. Thanks to this event, I enhance my knowledge of training and nutrition in order to perform well and safely in the competition.”

As for the best female athlete Truong Yen Nhi, this VNG18 birthday is also her 10th year working at the company, which made her memories with Marverse more meaningful. “Over the past ten years with VNG, I have had the chance to enjoy a memorable birthday event each year. I hope the Organizing Committee will keep the enthusiasm to create more new events to help maintain the spirit of solidarity, work hard play hard of VNG’s staff.”
