Annecy, Frankreich

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. Mai 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in France can also run together in Annecy. 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 13:00:00. 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.

The course forms a loop starting from Le Pâquier. It goes through the Jardin de l’Europe and the Charles Bosson Park before returning to Le Pâquier. This route is smooth, safe, and offers a beautiful view of the lake and the mountains.

Particular attention will be needed around tourists and pedestrians who will likely be gathered near the Pont des Amours. My goal is for them to support us and, why not, give us a great cheer or even a big wave as we pass over the bridge.

At the end of the race, I suggest that everyone meets up at Albigny Beach for a jump into the lake.
