The registration fee for the “Unity Run” starts at 100 UAH, and all funds will go toward supporting the UNBROKEN Rehabilitation Center, according to the event’s official website. The center provides a full cycle of free treatment, prosthetics, and rehabilitation for people injured in the war.
Beyond its charitable goal, the marathon aims to give everyone — regardless of ability — a chance to fulfill their dream of completing a marathon and to show that sport is for everyone. The key message: set your goal and take the first step.
Participants are welcome from all walks of life — experienced runners, people with disabilities or temporary health issues, pregnant women, seniors, parents with strollers, and even pet owners running with their animals, as well as others from low-mobility groups.
The event program includes not only the “Unity Run” but also several other distances to choose from:
-
Full marathon (42 km)
-
Half marathon (21 km)
-
10 km and 5 km races
-
Children’s races for 500 and 100 meters
“Our running events are never just about sports and crossing finish lines. Every year, through marathons and half marathons, we draw attention to vital social issues. This year, we want to remind Ukrainians that our strength lies in unity. Regardless of age, experience, or health, we are all on the same course — no matter where we are. Knowing you are running together with thousands of Ukrainians is inspiring and proves that only together can we move forward despite everything,” said Inna Poperešniuk, co-founder of Nova Poshta.
