Announcement for the solidarity run in support of political prisoners in Russia

Join the solidarity run in support of political prisoners in Russia!

Time: June 13 (Sat), 11:00
Please come at least 15 minutes before the start time.

Place: Shibuya Station, Hachiko Exit
Next to the Hachiko statue.

The Russian authorities have unleashed a repressive machine against innocent people. Let’s support those who have lost their freedom for their civic and anti-war stance.

This is not a professional race. The distance is less than 3 km: we will run from Shibuya Station to Yoyogi Park. We are not expecting records; we simply want to show our support for political prisoners together. You can run, walk, or even cycle the distance — the main thing is to be together on this day.

All donations made when registering for the run will go to a fund that supports political prisoners and their families. The donation amount is flexible and completely optional: you can simply come and run to show your support.

The run is organized by the Navalny Running Club and the Political Prisoners Support Foundation “You Are Not Alone” — a joint initiative of independent Russian-language media and anti-war organizations of Russians. In Tokyo, the event is supported by a local running club, Evenings of Letters to Political Prisoners, and Russian Voices for Peace.

  • Due to technical issues, registration and donations will be available only after June 13.
  • In case of rain, this event may be cancelled.
