Mertert, Luxemburg

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 Luxembourg can also run together in Mertert. 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.

Flat route through the beautiful Moselle region in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 We’ll start from the parking lot at the roundabout in Mertert and make our way through the lovely Mertert Park to the Moselle promenade. From there, we’ll follow the river to Wasserbillig, then run a bit along the Sauer River before heading back through the vineyards to our starting point in Mertert.

The loop is about 7 km long — you can easily extend it (for example via Langsur) or just run it again if you’re up for more!
