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, the official Legal Runs will be held from April 12th to June 12th in more than 25 cities around the world. Dubai (UAE) will start the international series on April 12th, passing the baton to Limassol (Cyprus) and Belgrade (Serbia) on April 26th. May 17th will see major races in Moscow (Meshchersky Park) and Nizhny Novgorod, with St. Petersburg and Barnaul following on May 25th. The action continues on June 7th with races in Novosibirsk, Voronezh, Irkutsk, and Izhevsk, then Ekaterinburg on June 8th, before Legal Run 2025 culminates in Samara on June 12th.
In addition to the races in the cities listed above, the Global Legal Run - global flash mobs of lawyers in support of the Legal Run project - will take place all over the world on the same days. Over the course of the project's existence, more than 15,000 people around the world have taken part in the event.
