The Wings for Life World Run. The race where every participant is sure to finish! You’ll start running with thousands of people around the world at the exact same time. You’ll run as far as you can until the Catcher Car passes you. And you’ll be doing all that running not only for yourself but for a good cause. 100% of your starting fees goes into spinal cord research and will help to find a cure for spinal cord injury.
Florida was the original Flagship race in North America, but now here’s how to take part: download the Wings for Life World Run App and decide how you want to run: alone, with friends, or as part of an Organized App Run.
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.

The City of Sunrise delivered yet again. This was our second year of participating in the Wings for Life Worldrun. I thoroughly enjoy running for charities and this is a great one because it helps fund research for people with spinal cord injuries. In fact, there have been some significant breakthroughs in Europe recently. In Wings for Life we run for those who can’t in hopes that one day they will be able to run with us. This year’s event was bigger, better and with a much nicer route than last year. We started at 7:00 am sharp with a flurry of colorful confetti. The support was absolutely fantastic and so was the atmosphere. When I returned on the bus to the sports center after the chaser car passed me I was given a medal by a little boy in a wheelchair. So yes, I am preregistered for Sunrise 2020!
Fantastic Race for a Fantastic Cause!

Everyone wins in this race. All proceeds go for spinal cord research, and everyone only runs against themselves. I made it just over 16K before the chaser car caught me. I was pleased. City of Sunrise provided fantastic support! Pre-race, post-race…everything was top shelf!
