The Run for Ukraine returns for its third year on September 13, 2026, and we invite you to be part of something meaningful. Every mile you cover sends a message of hope to those who feel forgotten, and every dollar raised brings real relief to people who need it most. Join us — live or virtually — and let's remind Ukraine, and the world, that they are not alone.
In addition, we have set up donation tiers and encourage you to create your own fundraiser supporting your run.
Participant Giveaways, Medals and Rewards: All runners will receive a memorable dry-fit race T-Shirt or Tank top and a custom-designed medal as a symbol of their achievement and contribution to the Ukrainian cause. Top finishers in 5K Live Run and 1 Mile Live Run will receive special recognition and prizes from our sponsors.
