What are the wings for life world run?

The Wings for Life World Run is a truly unique and global race for both runners and wheelchair participants. Instead of a finish line, competitors race side by side to keep ahead of the Virtual Catcher Car. Now in its ninth year, on May 7, 2023, Wings for Life World Run participants in the United States can also run together in New York City. Meet up with your friends, download the Wings for Life World Run App, and join all the other people running until the Virtual Catcher Car catches you of course. The race starts at exactly 2023-05-07 07:00:00. The Virtual Catcher Car takes off 30 minutes after the start at 14 km/h and steadily increases its speed until the last athletes have been caught. 100% of all donations and entry fees go directly into spinal cord research projects.

All attendees are also highly encouraged to officially register and download the app here

As stated, 100% of your registration fee will go directly into spinal cord research projects!
