Meet Our Ukrainian Heroes:

We are proud to support four Ukrainian veterans as members of USUA Veterans Team, organized and sponsored by our nonprofit organization, US Ukrainian Activists (USUA), for the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon.

About the USUA Team

Since 2024: US Ukrainian Activists (USUA) has proudly represented Ukraine with its own USUA Veterans Team as part of Team Ukraine at the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM).

2016–2023: USUA served as a co-sponsor of Team Ukraine at the MCM, before expanding its involvement by establishing its own veterans team in 2024.

We continue our longstanding tradition of warmly welcoming, cheering on, and supporting all Ukrainian veterans and active-duty military service members representing Team Ukraine during the Marine Corps Marathon.

Through these initiatives, we honor Ukraine’s heroes, support their rehabilitation, recovery, and empowerment through sports, raise awareness of Ukraine’s ongoing fight against Russian aggression, and strengthen the enduring bonds of friendship, solidarity, and mutual support between Ukrainian and American veterans and military communities, and between our two nations.
