Ha Thi Hau
Born and raised in Sapa, a beautiful town in the north of Vietnam, I was fortunate enough to exercise in the cold mountainous climate. Running up steep slopes, and crossing familiar hills have helped me to develop excellent endurance. Running makes me feel youthful and energetic, with a healthy body and a relaxed mind. As a brand ambassador of MUDE, I am proud to wear high-quality sportswear made by Vietnamese hands and to compete in international events.

Tu Do
I am NGUYEN DUC TUAN ANH (nickname Tú Dồ). I was born and raised in Lam Dong, a picturesque land with a gentle climate that captivates many hearts. However, currently, I reside and work in Hanoi, where I have the opportunity to engage with vibrant friends. Since 2019, we have been motivating each other to train and participate in races, marking a memorable five-year journey. Running, for me now, is not merely a leisure pursuit to alleviate stress as before, but a lifestyle that helps me cultivate both mental and physical strength, and even fosters connections with the friends around me. In my role as a brand ambassador for MUDE, we bring forth new promises, conquer challenges, provide fresh experiences, all while steadfastly adhering to the principle of “recycling, environmental protection.”

Loi Luong
My name is Luong Thi Loi, born and raised in Khanh Hoa, and currently working in Ho Chi Minh City as an office employee with a burning passion for running. My childhood was spent in the countryside, walking and biking to school, and helping my family with various chores. Growing up, I harbored dreams of venturing far from home to establish myself and develop personally, much like many of my peers.
My introduction to trail running was a stroke of luck when I participated in the Dalat Ultra Trail for the first time and secured the third prize in the 45km category in March 2022. From that small joy, I continued to train and conquer other trail races both domestically and internationally.
Presently, like many of my running buddies, I make the most of my time after work and on weekends to train and prepare for future goals. Running not only contributes to my physical well-being but also instills in me confidence, vitality, optimism, and a zest for life. Above all, it fosters meaningful friendships and a vibrant, positive community that makes life all the more colorful and enjoyable.
Fate led me to MUDE, a quality sports brand with an environmentally friendly ethos crafted by the hands of Vietnamese people. In my efforts and endeavors for the journeys ahead, I take pride in being accompanied by MUDE and being a member of the MUDE Trail Running Team.

Phuc Tran

Javier Sarda
My adventures as a cyclist began many years ago in the city where I was born, Zamora, in the west of Spain. Cycling was a tradition in my family. It started with my grandfather and my uncle. Years later my older brother joined and seeing him every day encouraged me.I started competing when I was only 6 years old in the lowest category that existed. In 2016, the chance arose to try my luck in Asia, specifically Japan, after lacking opportunities and motivation. It was a complicated year but full of learning and growth which opened other doors for me. The following year I would have the opportunity to travel and compete for the first time in Vietnam. In my first competition, VTV Cup, I got the queen stage and 2nd place in the general classification. This result was the beginning of my adventure as a cyclist in Vietnam, which continues to this day. Throughout these years I have successfully won at least one stage in all the competitions held in Vietnam. In addition to getting 5 general classifications, highlighting 2 generals in the most important race in Vietnam, the HTV Cup.
Khoa Vo
When I was 6 years old, an illness left me completely paralysed in both legs after treatment. The doctor advised me to practice swimming for physical support. After months of hard training, swimming not only helped me restore movement to my spine and one leg but also helped me find my passion. I want to stick with this sport for the rest of my life. Swimming to me is like destiny, helping me to escape the scythe of death and find joy in life. Currently, I am a coach at Yet Kieu swimming pool. In my free time, I teach swimming to children with both physical and mental disabilities. This is my way of giving back in life.

I’m an Australian triathlete living in Singapore. I’ve been doing triathlons for around 5 years now, and have recently gone into the 70.3 distance in 2022. I really enjoy the sport as you learn something new every day and need to keep on top of 3 sports which is a great and rewarding challenge. My main takings from triathlons are what you put out consistently in your training is what you’ll get back in your race results!
