On July 2 official registration began for the event “I honor the warriors, I run for the Heroes of Ukraine”.
The ninth All-Ukrainian patriotic run, held as part of the commemoration of the Day of remembrance for the defenders of Ukraine who died for the country’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, will take place on August 29, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. simultaneously in various regions across the country.
As is tradition, the Donetsk region will also join this nationwide initiative. Participant registration will run from July 2 to August 10 at the following link: https://forms.gle/caz4wqj4135iyWS2A.
Everyone can choose a distance of 2 km, 5 km or 10 km and complete it with the name of a Hero – a male or female defender who gave their life in the fight for Ukraine’s freedom between 2014 and 2026 – printed on their T-shirt.
The organizers also encourage participants to share the heroes’ biographies on social media using the hashtags #БіжуЗаГероя_2026 and #забіг2026.
