Detroit, United States

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 Virtual Catcher Car. On 10. května 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in United States can also run together in Detroit. Meet up with your friends, download the Wings for Life World Run App and join all the other people running until the Virtual Catcher Car catches you of course. The race starts at exactly 07:00:00. The Virtual 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. 100% of all donations and the entry fees go directly into spinal cord research projects.

Starting at Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit, runners will head westbound along the Detroit Riverfront. The course follows the riverfront path to a marked turnaround point, allowing runners to double back toward the start when caught by the catcher car
