Charity Bibs

Run with Purpose: UTMB World Series is making Charity Bibs available in Support of Ukraine

09/05/2022

At UTMB® World Series, we believe that sport is a force for good, and the UTMB® brand connects people all over the world through shared values of solidarity, inclusion, and fairness. Considering the ongoing situation in Ukraine caused by the unprovoked Russian invasion, the UTMB® World Series, and the events under UTMB® brand, are committed to supporting our friends in Ukraine during this period.

In light of this, we’re releasing charity bibs* for over 15 UTMB World Series Events to aid causes that directly support the Ukrainian people. We've chosen to work with the Red Cross and UNHCR, two well-known organizations that carry out incredible humanitarian work in emergency situations, and the GivenGain Foundation, a non-profit online fundraising platform that helps event participants to support the charities they care about.

By committing to raise a minimum donation for UNHCR or the Red Cross on GivenGain, you’ll be able to secure your place, on a first-come, first-served basis, at the UTMB World Series trail running event you wish, even if it’s sold out. But you will have to act quickly as the charity bibs are available in limited quantities depending on the Event:

- Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB® | Event | GivenGain - unlimited
