Organiser's Description
FOUR YEARS. FOUR YEARS OF BOMBS, DISPLACEMENT, AND UNIMAGINABLE LOSS AND UKRAINE STILL STANDS. BEHIND EVERY STATISTIC IS A REAL PERSON: A MOTHER SEPARATED FROM HER CHILDREN, A FAMILY SHELTERING FROM THE COLD, A CHILD WHO HAS NEVER KNOWN A DAY WITHOUT WAR. THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE HAVE SHOWN THE WORLD WHAT COURAGE AND RESILIENCE LOOK LIKE BUT COURAGE ALONE CANNOT REBUILD HOMES, HEAL WOUNDS, OR FEED FAMILIES. MILLIONS REMAIN DISPLACED, STRIPPED OF THEIR JOBS AND LIVELIHOODS, AND IN DESPERATE NEED OF FOOD, MEDICAL AID, SHELTER, AND EDUCATION. THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IS FAR FROM OVER. THAT'S WHY WE RUN.
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.
