Six kilometers of courage, solidarity, and togetherness. Odessa at the “Heroes Regatta 2025” in Dnipro.

In celebration of Ukrainian Heroes Day, an annual friendly race on yachts, «Heroes Regatta 2025», took place in Dnipro.

The event gathered veterans, service members, and representatives from veteran organizations across the country.

Odessa was represented by two teams: «Odyssey» and «Sea Wolves».

The route spanned 6 km on water, from Monastery Island to the «Sich» yacht club. And not a single meter was about sport—it was about memory, unity, and support.

Our teams paddled as one: with songs, jokes, strength, and endurance.

Adaptive athletes from Odessa always prove: barriers do not exist when there is a team!

Thank you, Dnipro, for the warm welcome. We look forward to seeing Odessans back home!
