A day of running in Kyiv: Familiar faces on running blades

We saw new and familiar faces crushing it on their running blades at this past weekend's New Run event in Kyiv. The event also celebrated both personal victories and the strong sense of community among Ukrainian athletes and veterans.

Familiar faces

We were excited to see many familiar faces from previous test runs in Kyiv, including several athletes who received prosthetic feet through the U+ System. Among them was Hlib, whom we met seven months ago when he shared his goal of representing Ukraine at the Paralympics. Seeing him finish the 5K race was a clear sign that he’s getting closer to making that dream a reality. It was also great to see Ivan, who completed the 5K and was there with his wife and daughter.

Standing together

We were thrilled to reconnect with so many athletes and supporters, making it another memorable day. A huge thanks to the people of Ukraine for turning this event into something truly meaningful.
