Ukrainian Running Club New York

Про наш забіг з Владиславом Гераскевичем в газеті Свобода!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

What a special run today with the Ukrainian Running Club in Central Park 🇺🇦🏃‍♂️

We had the honor of being joined by Olympic skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych for a 5-mile run. At one point, we joked about how well he was doing keeping up with us… and he smiled and replied, “Are you sure you’re not keeping up with me?” 😄 He then showed us some truly impressive speed work that quickly settled the debate.

Beyond the run, we want to thank Vladyslav for his presence, humility, and inspiration. He continues to demonstrate true dignity — especially remembering his stand during the Winter Olympic Games in Italy, when he was banned from participating simply for wearing a helmet honoring athletes who died in the Ukraine–Russia war. He did not back down and stood by his principles.

As the world now knows:
REMEMBRANCE IS NOT A VIOLATION.

And, as he signed our blue and yellow flag: “боротьба за гідність” — the fight for dignity — continues to hold strong. 💪🏼

Thank you, Vladyslav, for joining us today, for the miles, the speed, and the inspiration. ⭐️

Ми щиро дякуємо нашій українській біговій спільноті за участь у VYSHYVANKA RUN 2025 🇺🇦🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Цей забіг став не просто спортивною подією, а справжнім проявом єдності, сили духу та любові до України. Бігти у вишиванках — означає нести нашу ідентичність, культуру та підтримку тим, хто сьогодні боронить свободу й незалежність нашої держави. 🇺🇦

Для нас велика честь отримати Подяку від 27-ї окремої артилерійської бригади імені кошового отамана Петра Калнишевського. Ця відзнака — спільне досягнення всієї нашої громади. Вона є підтвердженням того, що кожен крок, кожен забіг і кожна добра справа мають значення. 🫶🏻

Дякуємо кожному, хто долучився, підтримав і біжить разом з нами — заради єдності, свободи та майбутньої Перемоги України. Дякуємо Aid Ukraine Now за партнерство!

We’re so proud of our members and friends who took part and shared their inspiring stories — from first-time marathoners (congrats Lyuba Kapko-Stephens) to those celebrating milestones like their 10th NYC Marathon (kudos, Buchma)
and several new personal bests along the way. Thank you all the people who supported and volunteered and all the fans.

Congratulations to everyone — we’re incredibly proud of you all!

Ukrainian Running Club members and friends proudly represented Ukraine today at the Parade of Nations for the 2025 NYC Marathon in Central Park, Manhattan! 🇺🇦

After the parade, we gathered for a traditional carb-loading dinner at Streecha — a wonderful time catching up with old friends, meeting new ones, and connecting with our running community near and far.

Wishing all runners an unforgettable marathon experience and light, strong legs on Sunday! 💪🏃‍♂️💙💛
