Wings for Life World Run 2025 - App Run Event Zell am See

Sunday, 04.05.2025
Sun:
from 11.30 am | duration: 5h
Elisabethpark Zell am See, Elisabeth-Promenade 4, 5700 Zell am See

1 pm - Start Race
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 tenth year, on 5 May 2024 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Zell am See. 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 1 pm. 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.

WHEELCHAIR PARTICIPANTS
On 4 May 2025 wheelchair participants and runners start side by side at this track. The only requirement: wheelchair participants have to start in everyday wheelchairs.
