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 eleventh year, on 5 maggio 2024 Wings for Life World Run participants in Italy can also run together in Welsberg - Südtirol. 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 13:00:00. 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 the entry fees go directly into spinal cord research projects. Track: We start all together at the "pavillon" in Piazza Centrale at 1 p.m. Our route leads around and into the village of Monguelfo and is a circuit of about 4.5 kilometres. Alternatively, there is a shorter jogging trail for families. Everyone runs as many laps as he/she can - or until the catcher car overtakes him/her. The track is level and therefore suitable for wheelchair users. Wheelchair partecipants: On 5 maggio 2024 wheelchair participants and runners start side by side at this track. The only requirement: wheelchair participants have to start in everyday wheelchairs.
