Hagenberg i.M. Freistadt, Austria

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 May 10, 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Hagenberg i.M.. 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 1:00:00 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.

The run starts at the sports hall Hagenberg. Through the sports area you run between the ponds towards the sports field, then back towards the extinguishing field. After that you go into the Salzstraße on the sidewalk in the direction of Veichter. At the second crossing turn left onto Schmidbauernweg. Walk to the traffic circle (past the ABZ) and turn left again in the direction of the sports hall/fire station.
