The Wings for Life World Run. The race where every participant is sure to finish!
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 Catcher Car. This May, Wings for Life World Run participants in Switzerland can also run together in Zug. Meet up with your friends and join all the other people running until the Catcher Car catches you of course. The race starts at exactly 13:00. The 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.
With its two lakes and magnificent mountain panorama, the region embodies a perfect symbol of Central Switzerland. At the Wings for Life World Run in Zug, you can look forward to a route through picture-book Switzerland.
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.
