Pittsburgh, USA

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 United States can also run together in Pittsburgh. 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.

Join us in Pittsburgh for an unforgettable Wings for Life World Run App Run. Choose your challenge: a 2-mile, car-free loop set against the backdrop of an iconic Pittsburgh steel mill, or an extended 8-mile route along the Monongahela River. Expect scenic views, tree-lined stretches, and smooth paths built for runners ready to go the distance. Music, snacks, and water stops will be along the route to keep you energized. Chase your personal best before the Catcher Car (Pacer Person) closes in, or simply run for something bigger than yourself. Along the way, connect with fellow runners, celebrate every mile, and share in the energy of a global community moving together for a purpose. Most importantly, you’re running for those who can’t. 100% of entry fees go directly to spinal cord injury research. Run. Celebrate. Make an impact, right here in Pittsburgh.
