At the beginning of the event, the participants observed a moment of silence in bright memory of the soldiers who died during the execution of combat tasks to protect the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and peaceful citizens who died as a result of the armed aggression of the russian Federation against Ukraine.

 Each participant of the race covered a distance of 2, 5, 10 km at will.

It's not just a sporting event — it's a space of unity, gratitude and indomitable spirit. It is a bridge of remembrance that connects the feat of the fallen with our daily gratitude.

During the race, university cadets with photos posted on their T-shirts honored the memory of OSUIA graduates - defenders of Ukraine who gave their lives in the struggle for the independence and territorial integrity of our state.
