The Wings for Life World Run. The race where every participant is sure to finish!
From the starting point in Zadar to Primošten where the last runners are likely to be caught by the Catcher Car, the track passes through Bibinje, Sukošan, St. Filip and Jakov, Biograd, Pakoštane, Drage, Pirovac, Vodice, Šibenik, Brodarica and Žaborić among other smaller places. These are all small coast places and cities famous for their breathtaking beaches, extraordinary olive oils, wine, and fish goodies.
The beautiful coastal city of Zadar is known for its magical sunsets. It is also the town of the Sea Organ, a series of broad steps leading down into the water, but there’s actually very clever engineering hiding under the surface. The lower steps allow water and air to flow in. That water and air are then funneled into resonant chambers under the steps, and pushed out through the channels on the upper stairs. These produces the undulating, chime-like sounds. Because the sea is always shifting and changing, the sea organ never sounds the same twice. Each sound you hear is unique.
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.
