Run Ukraine launches Bigosbor charity initiative. Spring 2026
Together with our partners, we’re continuing our strong tradition of supporting important initiatives and launching Bigosbor. Set for spring 2026, our goal this time is to run 750,000 km in five weeks, which donors will convert into 7.5 million donations for good rights.
Bigosbor is a charity project where runs will be converted into donations. It doesn’t matter how much you run, the most important thing is involvement and consistency.
Bigosbor. Spring 2026 will be the fourth Bigosbor run by Run Ukraine, which we are implementing together. Through our joint efforts in previous stages, we have raised a significant amount: UAH 24,764,713. These are astonishing results, demonstrating incredible unity and support.
Bigosbor. Spring 2026 begins on February 28 and concludes on April 5 during the 15th anniversary Work.ua Kyiv Invincibility Half Marathon 2026.
Anyone can join, it’s free. Just register and start running, tracking your runs in the Strava running app.
Registration for the Bigosbor. Spring 2026 opens on February 27 .
“Together we are doing a common and very important task – helping the front.
Bigosbor allows you to feel each other’s support, appreciate the value of even small steps, and gain motivation to go for runs regularly.
“Businesses, runners, partners, and we as the organizers—everyone contributes. Our task is to unite these efforts, translate them into concrete results and figures that will truly help where it’s needed most. That’s the main goal,” noted Ivan Tretyakov , Run Ukraine’s organizational director.
On February 28th, we will be starting 6 big fundraising events simultaneously:
“Feel with your heart – change the world by running” – PrivatBank and the NGO “Feel.” We’re raising money to help children with hearing impairments. The goal is 1.5 million UAH.
