Charity race in Cherkasy will feature an inclusive track for the first time

On September 15, 2024, in Cherkasy, as part of the  RUN 4 VICTORY quad marathon, an inclusive route for people with musculoskeletal disorders will be available. The race will take place along the central streets of the city. Participants will be able to choose a distance of 2, 5, 10, 21 km or join the race online. For the youngest participants, there will be 200, 400, or 800 meters. 

In addition to the traditional tracks, there will also be an inclusive track with a distance of 2 km. Its goal is to make all participants feel comfortable and safe, fully focused on the process.

On the one hand, the inclusive route will be appropriately marked and adapted to the needs and capabilities of people with musculoskeletal disorders and amputations so that they can move at their own pace. On the other hand, its route will not divide the participants of the event, because unity and support are important to everyone.

“We support the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a daily basis. We donate, send equipment, cars, and food. We unite with our colleagues from MHP, with communities and do many good deeds,” says Oleksandr Voskoboinik, Director of MHP-UROZHAY. ”I joined the organization of the third RUN 4 VICTORY race, which will be held in Cherkasy, the city where our agricultural enterprise has its office, with great enthusiasm. This time, we are raising funds for the needs of our local 118th Brigade of the Anti-Terrorist Operation. The people of Cherkasy and beyond are well aware of the soldiers of this brigade who are defending our country in the hottest spots. So I urge everyone to join us on September 15 and run or even walk the distance. There are no losers in our races, everyone is a winner! Everyone is a single organism that supports and gives strength to the defenders to fight! This is an opportunity to win over yourself and demonstrate the strength and character of Ukrainians!

Participation is free for combatants, military personnel and veterans. You can register for the charity race here.
