The 15th Work.ua Kyiv Half Marathon of Resilience brought together thousands of participants: from the country's fastest elite athletes competing for titles at 21km, 5km, and 1-mile distances, to thousands of amateurs completing their first kilometers.

At the invitation of the title partner, Work.ua, the EnterDJ team organized a pit-stop stage designed to encourage participants with live DJ sets. Our goal was to provide a rhythmic backdrop to help runners maintain their pace and focus throughout the course.

DJ Alina Hapon EnterDJ student and believer in the healing power of rhythm. Drawing inspiration from various House subgenres, she creates a melodic soundscape designed to move the body and calm the mind.

Over the course of two days, the event gathered more than 5,000 runners, with the primary goal of raising funds.

DJ Ro_Ma 4E A veteran who joined the EnterDJ program during his rehabilitation at the Superhumans Center (via the Victory Beats initiative). His drum and bass set provided the necessary drive for participants in the final stages of the race.

As organizers highlight, every smile and medal at the finish line symbolizes unity. We simply amplified those smiles with the volume of our sound system along the course.

DJ Perekos A veteran of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who joined the defense of the country in the early days of the full-scale invasion. His eclectic track selection served as an example of successful creative adaptation back to civilian life.

DJ ALB EnterDJ program curator, who ensured a cohesive musical atmosphere throughout the event.

DJ 120 A filmmaker and active-duty serviceman who continues to serve after surviving two severe injuries. His participation highlighted the resilience of the community united by this project.

We would like to thank the organizers and our partner, Work.ua, for the opportunity to integrate recreational DJing into such a significant sporting event.
