RUN FOR UKRAINE – MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Many people want to contribute, but don’t always know how.
RUN FOR UKRAINE makes it easy to get involved and make a difference by doing something you love – running!
You can choose to participate virtually, i.e. you participate and contribute by running where you are. You also choose how far you want to run.
We will bring people together in a joint demonstration that creates commitment, concrete support and, above all, keeps the focus on what is happening in Ukrainia.
Run for Ukraine is an initiative we at Springtime are proud to be a part of.
Through the project, we bring people from all over the world together in a common act – running for a good cause. What starts as an individual decision can grow into something bigger, with each participant contributing to a global whole.
The virtual race is open for registration from the start and gives everyone the opportunity to participate, no matter where they are.
No matter how you choose to participate, you are creating tangible financial support for charitable causes, while helping to keep the commitment and awareness of Ukraine alive. It’s an initiative where running unites people across borders and where every step is part of something that makes a difference.
We do this together with strong partners. The Kyiv Unbroken Marathon is the sporting core and the event itself on the ground in Ukraine. The Association of Tour Operators of Ukraine provides local knowledge and coordination, while the New Hope organisation ensures that funds raised reach the right destination.
Together, we are building an initiative where sport, engagement and co-operation meet in a natural way. Our ambition is to bring together runners from different parts of the world, create a strong community and provide significant support to Ukraine – while showing how running can turn engagement into concrete action.
Run for Ukraine
Run for a good cause!
The war in Ukraine has now been going on for several years and the consequences are devastating. As in all conflicts, children are the hardest hit. Many live in an everyday life characterised by anxiety, uncertainty and lack of security.
Through this project, we want to help make a difference – both here and now, and in the longer term. Our aim is to raise funds that will be channelled directly into efforts to help Ukraine’s children. Another important impact of the initiative is to help keep the spotlight on what is happening in Ukraine. By engaging runners and creating a movement around the project, we can continue to raise the issue and keep it alive in people’s minds.
The project is implemented in collaboration with the organisation New Hope, which has long experience of organising initiatives for Ukrainian children, including summer camps where children have the opportunity to experience security, community and joy. In addition, we cooperate with the Swedish Travel Industry Association (SRF) and AITO Ukraine, both of which are actively involved in supporting Ukraine and especially its young generation.
While some of the funds raised may be used for similar initiatives such as summer camps, our focus is broader. All money raised under the project will be used where it will do the most good for children in Ukraine – whether that is supporting them during the current war or helping them rebuild a future society.

Participate virtually – wherever you are
We recognise that not everyone will want or be able to join us on the trip to Kyiv. That’s why there is the possibility to participate virtually. No matter where you are, you can join us, run on your home turf and contribute to the fundraising at the same time.
Again, you choose the amount you want to contribute. In this way, everyone who wants to can join in and make a difference – through running – regardless of their circumstances.
Together, we can help keep the spotlight on what’s happening in Ukraine alive, while giving Ukraine’s children hope, support and a better future.
KYIV UNBROKEN MARATHON
The virtual race
If you can’t run the race on site, you can run on your home turf by joining the Kyiv Marathon virtually anytime between 9-13 October. So tie your shoes and be part of something meaningful, right from your own home turf. With the Kyiv Marathon Virtual Run, you can experience the feeling of an international race – while showing your support and solidarity.
Whether you’re running through the woods, along the streets of your city or on your favourite trail, every step you take is part of a global movement. You choose the distance, pace and time – but the sense of community is the same.
- Run when it suits you
- Choose your own path
- Contribute to something bigger
This race brings people together across borders, where running becomes a common language.
