run for ua 2026

Ukrainian soldiers are once again heading to Chicago to take part in Soldier Field 10 race!

For many of our defenders, this journey is about much more than sport. It is an opportunity for emotional recovery, new connections, support, and inspiration after everything they have endured during the war.

The Ukrainian team, including wounded service members who defended Ukraine on the front lines, will represent our country at one of the largest memorial races in the United States dedicated to honoring fallen soldiers.

Run For Ukraine is about strength, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of Ukrainian defenders. It is also a symbol of gratitude to the American people for supporting Ukraine and a reminder of the unity between veterans and service members fighting for freedom and human dignity.

Ahead are new meetings, powerful emotions, meaningful stories, and miles that our defenders will run carrying Ukraine in their hearts 💙💛
