Thanks to runners and the running community, Run Ukraine generated 25,331,041 hryvnas in 2025 to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and charity. We accumulated this amount together, thanks to every runner and every kilometre completed. We sincerely thank all participants, our partners, and conscious Ukrainian businesses that support our events and join our charitable initiatives.
We invite you to take a look at the first part of the detailed report — about the funds generated and donated to charity directly by Run Ukraine.
In 2025, 50% of the registration fees paid by participants in all running events organised by Run Ukraine were donated to charity (and in the Recruit Honor Race, this amounted to 100% of the registration fees).
As part of the PrivatBank Kyiv Unbroken Marathon of 2025, as of 12 October 2025, 552,000 hryvnas were collected directly in the PrivatBank donation envelope, opened for the needs of Special Operations Forces soldiers. Also, 2,005,468 hryvnas were transferred to this donation envelope from participants’ registration fees. Fundraising for the Special Operations Forces envelope is currently ongoing.

The second part of the report will be published later, about the funds generated and transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and for charitable purposes by partner companies as part of the Run Ukraine running events.
In 2025, Run Ukraine organised two fundraising events — ‘Bigozbir. Awakening’ and Bigozbir. Heat, which lasted two and three months, accordingly. This is a charitable initiative in which Ukrainian businesses that supported the running events converted each kilometre completed by a participant into funds — 1 km of running was converted into a 10-hryvnia donation. Based on the results of the first ‘Bigozbir’, partners donated 7.3 million hryvnas to charity, and based on the results of the second ‘Bigozbir 2025’, they donated 9 million hryvnas.
In addition, as part of the Kyiv Unbroken Half Marathon 2025, the event’s partners donated funds to charity: the Bazhayemo Zdorovya pharmacy network donated 1 million hryvnias to purchase equipment for the Hospitaliers Medical Volunteer Battalion, and TM Morshynska allocated 1 million hryvnias for the needs of the NextStep Ukraine military rehabilitation centre.
