Wings for Life World Run

May 10, 2026

The Wings for Life World Run is a global charity race held every May to raise funds for spinal cord injury research. All participants start at the exact same time worldwide, either at official locations or via the mobile app. Instead of a finish line, runners are chased by a "Catcher Car" that gradually increases speed until it overtakes them. The event is open to everyone, including runners, walkers, and wheelchair users, promoting inclusivity. All entry fees and donations go directly to spinal cord research projects.
