History and Mission

Vyshyvanka Run, a beloved event in Ukraine for many years, is making its debut in Miami. Founded by renowned athlete and champion Oleksandr Kuzin (world`s fastest marathon runner in 2007), this event is not just a run; it's a celebration of Ukrainian culture and unity, bridging communities across the globe. The event is organized by a dedicated group of Ukrainian volunteers living in South Florida.

Vyshyvanka, the traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt, is a significant cultural symbol, representing the rich heritage and history of Ukraine. The Vyshyvanka Run has been held in Ukraine for over a decade, attracting thousands of participants annually who come together to celebrate and preserve Ukrainian traditions. This year, we are proud to bring this cherished event to Miami for the first time.
