AIMS President invites members to Hanoi

Dear AIMS members,

You are all most certainly aware of the difficulties we have faced over the last four years. But rather than dwell upon that we would like to congratulate all those who stood tall and kept their events up and running…

With our strongest feelings of solidarity and commitment we announce that the XXIV World Congress of AIMS will be hosted in Hanoi, Vietnam, from 14 – 17 November, 2024. It gives me great pleasure to announce that the website for the Congress has been launched. We will be waiting for you all to enjoy Vietnamese hospitality and learn of the progress of running organizations over the last few years.

Let me look back for a moment to express our most grateful thanks to our friends at the Osaka Marathon for their important help in hosting the XXIII World Congress of AIMS in 2023. Being prepared through the most difficult of times is the best of qualities… as Osaka proved!

Now we have the opportunity to experience that part of the world with the greatest increase of AIMS membership in recent years, South East Asia, with Vietnam being one of the countries with the most rapid economic growth and social development.

I am sure we will enjoy and learn a lot through our participation in this the most important event of 2024 for our running community.

Let’s meet at Hanoi in November, let’s share experiences and learn even more about today’s AIMS environment!

Paco Borao
AIMS President
