Legal Run is the first international charity run to unite representatives of one professional community – lawyers, as well as their colleagues and friends – in support of the beneficiaries of Podari Zhizn Foundation and several regional foundations.
The Legal Run project is a fundraising initiative through which contributions for participation in the race are collected during online registration, and the money is allocated directly to the Podari Zhizn Foundation's account. Over the 11-year history of the project, it has raised more than 35 million roubles and supported 111 children.
Each year, the event draws participation from a diverse range of professionals, including Russian and foreign law firms, legal organisations, in-house legal departments of companies, law students, and professors from law faculties. Since its inception, the Legal Run has taken place in various cities worldwide, with over 25,000 lawyers from more than 150 cities and 35 countries participating from 2014 to 2024.
In 2025, official Legal Run races are taking place from April 12th to June 28th in over 25 cities across various countries.
