Bucharest, Romania

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. Now on May 10, 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Romania can also run together in Bucharest. 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 2:00:00 PM. 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.

Our run will take place on the running track of the Athletics Stadium "Iolanda Balaş Soter", in Bucharest. This stadium is centrally located in Bucharest and it is an official international running track for athletic competitions. One loop of the run is 400 m, or more, depending which lane you choose to run. It is flat, with a gentile surface called tartan, just good for running. This can be a perfect option for wheelchair users also.

Let's run for those who can't and make history together!
