This Luang Prabang Half Marathon is like no other indeed – it is Probably the most exhilarating run in the world! This year’s event saw over 1,200 runners from over 40 countries around the world competing in the event that raised USD 130,000 for the Lao Friendship Hospital for Children, a charitable hospital providing free medical care to over 25,000 children in northern Laos.
For five consecutive years, Tigerhead drinking water, a major brand under Lao Brewery Company (LBC), has been a proud sponsor of the Luang Prabang Half Marathon. Many LBC colleagues, including Henrik Andersen, MD of LBC, took part in the fundraiser as a runner to support this charitable cause. This is the latest example that Carlsberg has been actively contributing to a better local society in Laos.
