Join a truly unique run for a great cause! The Wings for Life World Run is not your typical race.
Instead of a fixed finish line, you’ll be chased by a virtual “Catcher Car” that gradually speeds up. Run, walk, or roll as far as you can before it catches you, all while raising vital funds for spinal cord research.
Here’s what makes this event special:
- Run anywhere: Choose your own course in Brisbane or join the official App Run Event for a group experience.
- Unique format: No set distance, just keep outpacing the Catcher Car!
- Global community: Runners and wheelchair participants from around the world join in simultaneously.
- 100% for a cause: All entry fees and donations directly support spinal cord research projects.
- App makes it easy: Download the Wings for Life World Run App to track your progress and see the Catcher Car approaching.
- Something for everyone: Perfect for runners, walkers, and wheelchair users of all levels.
