The Wings for Life World Run is a unique and global running event, where all finishers are winners. The race starts simultaneously around the world, and a 'Catcher Car' chases the runners. When the Catcher Car overtakes a runner, their race is over! The goal is to stay ahead of the Catcher Car for as long as possible. The run is held to support spinal cord research, with 100% of entry fees and donations going to the Wings for Life Foundation.
