WILD RACE 2026: HOW A NEW EVENT SECURITY STANDARD IS BEING FORMED IN UKRAINE
An event that became part of the national recovery system.
TopGuard is honored to be involved in a nationwide process that is critically important for Ukraine today: rehabilitation, socialization, support, and integration of military personnel. In this context, the company acts as a partner of "Wild Race 2026" — the largest sports and social event in Ukraine, focused on veterans and active military personnel.
Scale that defines significance
"Wild Race 2026" is an event of national level:
- Participation of 33 brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine;
- Thousands of participants and spectators;
- Integration of military and civil society;
- Interaction between business, government, and defense forces.
The event took place under the patronage of the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which underscores its strategic importance.
Andrii Lebediev, Director of TopGuard Security:
"Today, for Ukraine, it is critically important not just to support the military, but to create an environment where they return to a full life — through action, through team, through interaction with society. 'Wild Race' is an example of such an environment. For TopGuard, it is an honor to be part of this process and provide security for an event that unites the country around our defenders."
Modern format of rehabilitation, socialization, and recruiting
Today, Ukraine is forming a new model of working with the military through physical challenges, team scenarios, inclusion in social life, and open interaction with civilians. "Wild Race" is rehabilitation through action, socialization through team, modern recruiting through values, and integration of the military into an active society.
Uniting society around defenders
One of the key tasks of the event is creating an environment where military and civilians act together, trust is formed, distance disappears, and shared responsibility arises. This is a new social standard for Ukraine.
The role of TopGuard in this process
For TopGuard, participating in the "Wild Race" is not just a project. It is a contribution to the country's security, support for the military, and participation in shaping a new culture of interaction. We perceive it as an honor to be part of a process that forms the future of Ukraine.
Partnership that matters
TopGuard implements this project together with system leaders of Ukrainian business: Kernel, Winner Ukraine, Adama. This is a level of partnership where business works not only for the economy but also for the state.
Why "Wild Race" is a complex event from a security perspective
Events of this scale are complex systems: large numbers of participants, physical strain, natural environment, dynamic scenarios, and a high level of emotions. In such conditions, security is not just a function; it is environmental management.
