Join us on Sunday for a fantastic fun run! We will meet on the lovely green field to chat, hug, and of course, run in support of Ukraine.

The event is perfect for everyone keen to get out and show that they stand with Ukraine.

Organised by a team of Ukrainians, that moved to Oxford because of the war, the event will be a lot of fun for both runners and those who come along to support them.

Feel free to express your position in many ways - please bring flags, posters:) Blue and yellow outfits will be very welcomed as well! Our photographer will definitely catch you for great shots.

The event is inclusive, so you can run, walk or jog the distance. You can also actively and funny support those who are running!

To make sure you’re all ready for the course, and have no stiff legs on Monday there will be a group warm-up and warm-down (stretching) session with Nataliia Kurochka, a certified personal trained and founder of Blackroll Training in Ukraine.

The area is well suited to have a picnic after the run, so feel free to bring some snacks. While tea, coffee and sweets will be available to buy at the location.

Price

Free (recommended donation is £10, collected during the event). Ukrainians run for free.

Supported by:

Ukraine Shelter - help for Ukrainians displaced by the Russian invasion.

Urban Crew - a reputable urban initiative in Ukraine, which turned to be a profoundly solid volunteer group that has already delivered 9 cars to the defenders (5 bought and 4 presented because of transparent and brave activity).

What are we raising money for?

As the war started, 7+ million Ukrainians fled the country. Many of them by bus and by car. Moreover, the cars are often under fire during evacuation or delivering humanitarian aid. So the vehicles are in demand among Ukrainian defenders.

Ukraine Shelter and Urban Crew have already transferred 12 cars to Ukraine to help local defence forces do their job, and this race is being organised to help us raise money for one more car. The vehicle will be purchased in the UK and driven to Ukraine together with medical supplies and other donations.

The average cost of the car is £5,000 (including the cost of insurance and fuel). Ukraine Shelter and Urban Crew will match the money raised during the event to buy the car.
