Why "Vyshyvanka" Run?
A Vyshyvanka is the traditional embroidered Ukrainian shirt that symbolizes unity, identity, strength, and pride. We encourage everyone to wear their vyshyvanka or dress in Ukrainian colors and proudly wave Ukrainian flags as we run together in support of Ukraine and its people.
