This was reported on the Lviv City Council website, according to Rubryka.
"Participants covered a distance of five kilometres. The funds raised will go towards supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The aim of the event is to help purchase a pickup truck for the 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade," the city council said.

According to Yevhen Shulha, organiser and founder of the TANØK collective, Running Rave combines a rave with running, allowing participants to enjoy music, dance and exercise at the same time.
"The idea is to help people feel good, stay physically active and relieve psychological stress during these difficult times. The main goal of this run is to raise funds for the 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade.
We raised more than UAH 50,000 (around €1,000). Our partner, the 1991 charity foundation, is raising money for a pickup truck. Today, we will contribute the funds we collected towards its purchase," Shulha said.

The first Running Rave took place in Lviv in June and attracted 300 participants. The event received many positive reviews, prompting the organizers to hold a second edition without delay.
Running Rave 2.0 was organised by TANØK and .thefab. Reflect Production provided technical support, while the 1991 foundation served as the charity partner, raising funds to purchase a pickup truck.
Other organisations involved in organising and running the event included the PROBIG running club, the RUN WITH UKRAINE running community, UCU Running Club, BRONX FITNESS HUB, the REVAT chain of sports clubs, the CYCLEBAR cycling studio and the POWER GIRLS sports club.
Earlier, on September 19, Mukachevo hosted the Mukachevo Half Marathon, a charity event that brought together around 800 participants from different regions of Ukraine. Among them were service members with disabilities.
