Thanks to runners and the running community, Run Ukraine generated 25,331,041 UAH in 2025 to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and charitable causes.
This amount was raised together — through every runner and every kilometer completed. We sincerely thank all participants, our partners, and the Ukrainian businesses who support our running events and join our charitable initiatives.
We invite you to read the first part of our detailed report — focused on the funds generated and donated directly by Run Ukraine to charitable causes.
In 2025, 50% of all registration fees from every running event organized by Run Ukraine were directed to charity (and for the Recruit Honor Race, this amounted to 100% of registration fees).
As part of the PrivatBank Kyiv Unbroken Marathon 2025, as of October 12, 2025, 552,000 UAH was raised directly through the PrivatBank fundraising envelope opened to support Special Operations Forces (SOF) fighters.
Additionally, 2,005,468 UAH from participants’ registration fees was transferred to this fundraising envelope.
The SOF fundraising initiative is still ongoing.

Additional Charitable Projects in 2025
In 2025, Run Ukraine organized two major fundraising initiatives (Bigozbory):
Bigozbir. Awakening and Bigozbir. Heat, which lasted two and three months respectively.
These are charitable projects where Ukrainian businesses supporting Bigozbory convert every kilometer run by participants into donations — 1 km = 10 UAH.
• As a result of Bigozbir. Awakening, partners donated 7.3 million UAH.
• As a result of Bigozbir. Heat, partners donated 9 million UAH.
Additionally, within the Kyiv Unbroken Half Marathon 2025, partner companies contributed directly to charity:
