The Wings for Life World Run is a truly unique 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. Meet up with friends, download the Wings for Life World Run app and join all the other people running until the Virtual Catcher Car catches up.
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.
The app-run event takes place inside the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) farm in Irene in an out and back lap route of approximately 6km, all on tarred roads on the farm. Once caught, participants then return to the race village on foot.
The virtual Catcher Car chases participants via the Wings for Life World Run App, so don't forget to download the App and bring a fully charged phone to participate in the app-run event.
