Ekiden Season 9: Secure its title as the most popular sports event among Nitecans.
If there can only be one thing on the annual athletic calendar of Niteco, it must be the Ekiden Relay Run Challenge. Ekiden is always a "must try" thing on Nitecans' bucket list, whether you like running or not. Because it's not about running. It's about spending quality time with your colleagues and creating memories.
And that is the reason why Ekiden has come to its ninth season and still receives lots of love. Over 50 people joined the race in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City this year. If Ha Noi Nitecans team up to do an 8-round relay race in Hoan Kiem Lake, Ho Chi Minh Nitecans choose a fiercer battle where solo runners claim victory by completing four rounds of Hoang Van Thu Park.
Ekiden brought together "athletes" from different backgrounds, from developers to data analysts, to project managers, designers, and so many more! They showcased their running abilities and team spirit. Let's cheer for all of them, especially for the winners of Ekiden Season 9:
Ha Noi
1st prize: Yên Mai, Thành Bùi, Trung Nguyễn
2nd prize: Trung Nguyễn, Duy Nguyễn, Phương Bùi
3rd prize: Khánh Đinh, Minh Tạ, Trâm Trần
Ho Chi Minh
1st prize: Khánh Nguyễn
2nd prize: Hùng Ngô
3rd prize: Phúc Võ
Football Fever: The heat never died down.
April brings the Niteco Football Tournament, where colleagues trade spreadsheets for soccer balls. The office buzzes with anticipation as teams lace up their boots and strategize.
Here's why it's more than just a game:
- Team Spirit: Forget cubicles; the field is where alliances form. Odin vs. Marketing? Thor vs. Frey? It's all fair game.
- Goal Celebrations: When that ball hits the net, the entire office erupts with high-fives and victory dances. What can be more beautifully chaotic than that?
- Monday blues? Not after a weekend of goals and epic saves. The water cooler chat revolves around last-minute penalties, which is what we expected on Monday.
So, whether you're a striker, defender, or just there for the half-time snacks, the Niteco Football Tournament is about friendly rivalry and a dash of healthy competition.
In the end, here's the result if you missed out on all the fun things in the field:
Ha Noi
1st prize: team Odin
2nd prize: team Frey
3rd prize: team Marx247 và BalxThor
Ho Chi Minh
1st prizet: team anh Đạt Trần
2nd prize: team anh Kiên Nguyễn
Remember, sports aren't just about winning; they're about the stories, the sweat, and the shared moments. So, lace up those sneakers and ready for the upcoming games.
