VING Thailand at the IAU 100K Asia & Oceania Championships 2025
When Running Sandals Do More Than Reach the Finish Line — They Carry Strength for 24 Hours
Some races are not measured by speed alone.
They are measured by heart, endurance, and mental strength.
One of those races is the IAU 100K Asia & Oceania Championships 2025 (24 Hours) — an international ultra-distance event filled with determination, resilience, and powerful stories from runners across Asia and Oceania.
And within this extraordinary arena, VING Thailand had the honor of standing inside that energy — not just as a sponsor, but as part of the journey.
More Than a Competition — The True Heart of Runners
For 24 continuous hours, the atmosphere carried something beyond words.
It wasn’t just cheering.
It wasn’t only finish-line moments.
It was the shared understanding of people who refused to surrender to their limits — hour after hour.
As an official event sponsor, VING stood beside runners of every kind:
National athletes
Elite ultra runners
And runners driven purely by heart and determination
Every step, every lap, every pause told a story of persistence.
VING as a Sponsor Who Truly Understands Runners
For VING, sponsoring a race has never been about logos on banners. It’s about presence.
Standing close enough to witness:
Physical exhaustion
Quiet moments of pain
The mental battle behind tired eyes
And the small, genuine smiles that appear after each passing hour
The atmosphere felt warm and familiar — like one big family connected by a shared love for running.
When Running Sandals Become Part of an Ultra-Distance Race
Many people still ask the same question: How can running sandals belong in an ultra-distance race?
But on the ground, the answer was clear.
Runners used running sandals during recovery moments — while walking, resting, or releasing accumulated pressure on their feet after hours of continuous impact.
This reinforced what VING has always believed:
Footwear isn’t just meant to make you faster. It should help you stay in the race longer.
In ultra events, recovery is not optional — it is survival.
What This Race Meant to VING
For the VING team, the IAU 100K Championships were more than an event activation.
They reminded us why we fell in love with running in the first place.
We fell in love again with:
The power of runners
Relentless effort
The refusal to give up
A community that truly understands the meaning of
“Run Beyond Limits.”
VING Thailand — Growing Together with Runners
VING would like to thank every runner who stopped by:
To talk
To share stories
To exchange real experiences
And to look at running sandals from a new perspective
Every conversation, every laugh, every story of fatigue became fuel — pushing us to keep improving and innovating.
Not Just a Sponsor — But Part of the Memory
For VING, the most valuable outcome isn’t visibility.
It’s the privilege of being part of meaningful memories — moments when runners are pushing beyond what they thought was possible.
That’s why VING continues to:
Stand beside the course
Stand beside runners
Stay present in every step of the running journey
See You at the Next Race
The energy from this race hasn’t faded.
The inspiration from every runner continues to move us forward.
We’ll see you again —
