EVENT: Support the USUA Veterans Team at the 2025 Army Ten-Miler

Dear friends, come show your support for Ukrainian and American veterans running in the 41st Army Ten-Miler!
The US Ukrainian Activists’ team – the USUA Veterans Team – will participate in the Army Ten Miler military marathon for the first time on Sunday, October 12!
The team’s mission is to support Ukrainian veterans’ rehabilitation through sport (running), raise awareness about Ukraine’s fight for freedom, and honor Ukrainian heroes in Russia’s ongoing genocidal war against Ukraine.
Please join us in greeting Ukrainian veteran Yurii Tsyntylevych, a USUA Veterans Team member, as he runs alongside U.S. service members, military veterans, and their families through Washington, D.C.’s iconic historic landmarks.
