From AI Video to the Starting Line: Have Tech-Enthusiastic Runners Tried It All?

October is coming, this is also the time when tens of thousands of domestic and international runners are counting down to the 4th Techcombank Hanoi International Marathon - the symbolic race of Hanoi Capital, eagerly awaited by the running community.

Joining the exciting training atmosphere before the Race, the spirit of "Running for a superior Vietnam" continues to spread strongly through the social media interaction activity "Create AI videos - Become an ambassador of Techcombank Marathon 2025" - a unique digital experience combining technology and sports.

When technology brings marathon closer to every runner

For the first time, a race in Vietnam has applied a multi-model AI system to personalize each participant's experience video . With just one photo, each runner - or even those who have never run - can own a separate, lifelike running video passing through the scenic spots of the thousand-year-old capital.

In each short video, AI recreates the journey of overcoming procrastination, fatigue, and self-doubt, then exploding into the happy running moments. Viewers see a “superior version” of themselves, told in a unique way. This is not just technology, but also encouragement: anyone can start the journey to conquer their limits right now.

You can start creating your own AI videos right now: just visit the link https://techcombankmarathon2025.com/ , choose a few simple steps, within 3-4 minutes you have a personalized AI video. That will be the first "spiritual ticket" to start the journey, before actually meeting at the starting line.

The journey to spread the spirit of "Limits? What can stop us from moving forward" is even more meaningful with the participation of outstanding athletes - not only outstanding on the track, but also having interesting experiences, overcoming limits thanks to AI technology.

Athlete Pham Tien San, from a track and field athlete who won many SEA Games medals, decided to conquer international marathons - a new journey with more severe challenges. When participating in the activity "Create AI videos - Become an ambassador of Techcombank Marathon 2025", his new image through Hanoi's famous landscapes was vividly recreated in a personalized video. Athlete Pham Tien San happily shared:

"When I watch the AI ​​video, I see myself - not just an athlete on the running track, but a person who is still persistently moving forward, despite age, pressure and challenges."

As for Tran Dang - a young star of the marathon world who has won the national championship many times, and was once at risk of retiring after injury, his AI Video not only recreates the breakthrough moments at iconic landmarks of the Capital, but is also a way for him to "relive" the journey of getting up after falling.

"So what about limits? What makes a Tran Dang is not that there are no limits. But that he dares to face them and overcome them" - Tran Dang shared.

Through the AI ​​transformation platform, the images of professional athletes have become a powerful inspiration for the running community: an affirmation that the marathon spirit is not only for the best - but for anyone who dares to surpass themselves, whether on the track or in life.

New trend covers the running community

From the first day of launch, the activity exploded with more than 5,000 videos created with thousands of interactions through social media platforms, covering running groups and runclubs across the country. From Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang, creating AI videos quickly became a "trend" attracting runners eager to experience.

AI-generated videos are like an extended “virtual marathon.” New runners find themselves in the shoes of athletes for the first time. Amateur runners use videos to challenge each other: “Have you run this week?” Running clubs are sharing dozens of videos, turning the marathon spirit into a viral phenomenon.

Ms. Thu Trang (Hanoi) - an amateur runner shared, "Watching my videos is enough to make me want to put on my shoes and go out. Sometimes, we just need to see a stronger version of ourselves to get more motivation."

It is this emotion that makes the message "No limit can stop us from moving forward" of the 4th Techcombank Hanoi International Marathon more vivid and accessible than ever.

The 4th Techcombank Hanoi International Marathon is not only a race, but also a festival of solidarity, where each step writes a superior story on the journey to continue writing stories for "Running for a superior Vietnam".

See all runners at the starting line on 05.10.2025!
