Download the new app update now and register
You can register on the latest
Wings for Life World Run app on both
Apple and
android. It will be possible to
run individually, wherever you are, or to join one of the many organized app
runs in your vicinity. The app also offers a special audio experience — an
exciting listening experience that informs, motivates, and entertains
participants during the run.
Global charity run for spinal cord research
Those who participate in the
Wings for Life World Run are supporting research for spinal cord injuries, as
100 percent of all entry fees and donations go to spinal cord research. This is
made possible by Red Bull and the partners of the Wings for Life World Run, who
will be covering all administrative costs associated with the run.
Unique run format
At the Wings for Life World Run,
all runners and wheelchair users start at exactly the same time — 2pm, Amman
Time — and run or roll as long as they can. There is no finish line. Instead,
30 minutes after the start signal, specially designed Catcher Cars start moving
and overtake the participants one by one, either in real or virtual terms.
For those caught by the Catcher Car, the race is over.
This ensures that everyone finishes the race, distinguishing it from other
runs.
