The Wings for Life World Run. The race where every participant is sure to finish!
Munich, at the foot of the Alps, is a metropolis with heart and lot of tradition. It is hospitable and pulsating, charming and bustling; in the middle of the incredible Bavarian outdoors, surrounded by beautiful lakes and an impressive alpine world. With nearly 1.5 million inhabitants, Munich is Bavaria’s most populous and largest city. The vast number of tourist attractions, diverse cultural offers, international sports events as well as Oktoberfest make the Bavarian metropolis a popular tourist attraction.
The Wings for Life World Run starts in the north of the city in Munich’s Olympic Park, whose grounds were developed for the Summer Olympics in 1972. It is home to a number of famous structures, such as the Olympic Stadium, Olympic Hall and the Olympic Tower, and is world famous for its pavilion-roof. The route leads the runners from the Olympic Park to the northwest through the beautiful rural districts of Dachau and Fürstenfeldbruck.
The Wings for Life World Run is a global charity event with a unique, and uniquely fun, format. All participants start at the same time, worldwide. It doesn’t matter whether you are a professional athlete, a fun runner or a total beginner. There is no finish line. Instead, 30 minutes after the start, a Catcher Car begins pursuit, passing the runners and rollers one after the other.
The Wings for Life World Run is different. It’s not what you may be used to from other races. First of all, the start signal will show up all over the globe at the same time. Exactly at 11am UTC. That means in London the participants start at 12pm, in Munich at 1pm, in Japan at 8pm, and so on…
There is no finish line. There are Catcher Cars. They start their chase 30 minutes after the start signal, passing one participant after another. Relaxed runners, for example, will be passed at kilometer 5, while professional runners will be sweating it out until kilometer 60.
Your result will not be a time, but rather the distance you have achieved.
Best of all: 100% of all entry fees and donations goes directly to spinal cord research and will help to find a cure for spinal cord injury.
