Krapina, Croatia

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 Croatia can also run together in Krapina. 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 start and refreshment point will be located at ŠRC Podgora (in front of the entrance to the NK Zagorec Krapina stands). The route then continues along 103rd Brigade of the Croatian Army Street, following the Krapinica stream. It proceeds through the villages of Strahinje and Podgora Krapinska, at the foot of the beautiful Strahinjčica mountain. The approximate length of the route is 2.5 km.
