Great Race Ukraine–Europa RUH2026 invites sponsors and financial partners. The international marathon-rally will take place in Ukraine and Europe from August 21 to October 10, 2026.
In 2026, a large-scale automobile project Great Race Ukraine–Europa RUH2026 will start in Ukraine, which will combine a marathon-rally-cross, automotive exhibitions, sports competitions, youth programs and international routes. The organizers are open to cooperation with Ukrainian and international business, so one of the important areas of preparation was the search for sponsors for automotive events, financial partners and companies interested in supporting motor sports and socially significant initiatives.
Great Race Ukraine–Europa RUH2026 is dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's Independence and the 35th anniversary of the Ukrainian Motor Transport Organization. The ceremonial events within the project will begin in Kyiv on July 1, 2026, and on August 21, 2026, a large-scale national marathon-rally through the historical cities of Ukraine and Europe will start from the capital.
The program includes three main stages.
Stage I — August 21 - September 7, 2026, Kyiv - Kyiv. The route runs through Kaniv, Cherkasy, Smila, Shpola, Hlynsk, Oleksandria, Kropyvnytskyi, Nova Praha, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Pyatikhatki, Zhovti Vody, Znamenka, Kremenchuk, Odessa, Uman, Bila Tserkva and other cities.
Stage II — September 21-27, 2026, Kyiv - Lviv. Participants will travel through Bila Tserkva, Lubny, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, Zbarazh, Zolochiv, Busk and will finish the stage in Lviv.
Stage III — September 28 – October 10, 2026, Lviv – Kaunas – Zaporizhia. The international part of the route involves driving through Poland and Lithuania with a subsequent return to Ukraine. Thus, the project goes beyond the traditional domestic rally and acquires an international format.
A separate component of the Great Race is the participation of historic cars over 30 years old, classic cars 20–30 years old and modern cars, including those with alternative fuels. This makes the event interesting for fans of retro technology, car clubs, manufacturers and suppliers of automotive products, the tourism sector and a wide audience.
Why are the organizers looking for sponsors and partners?
Holding a multi-day international automobile marathon requires significant organizational, informational and material support. That is why the search for financial partners for the Great Race Ukraine–Europa RUH2026 is an important part of the project preparation.
For businesses, sponsoring such an event can be a way to present their company not within a single city or advertising platform, but along a route that covers numerous regions of Ukraine and the international part of the program.
Potential sponsorship of an international retro rally may be interesting to automobile companies, manufacturers of spare parts and technical equipment, insurance and logistics companies, gas station chains, tourism businesses, hotels, food and beverage manufacturers, technology brands and other enterprises for which recognition and direct communication with the audience are important.
The partnership may also include information and PR support, brand presence on the project's promotional materials, participation in presentation events and media coverage of cooperation.
At the same time, the Great Race Ukraine–Europa RUH2026 has a broader mission: supporting Ukrainian heroes and heroines, preserving historical memory, popularizing automotive culture, developing tourism and communities, youth programs and charitable initiatives.
Thus, sponsorship of the Ukraine 2026 automotive events can combine the company's marketing objectives with support for Ukrainian sports, history and international representation of the country.
For companies that are currently looking for new formats of communication with their audience, a partnership with Great Race Ukraine–Europa RUH2026 can be an opportunity to join a large-scale project at the stage of its formation and gain additional informational presence throughout the entire series of events.
