Madrid El Retiro, Spain

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 Spain can also run together in Madrid. 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 race will start at Kiosko El Nacional at 1:00 PM. The race will begin on a specially designed course, circling the perimeter of Retiro Park until your own limits carry you to the final finish line. The meeting point to celebrate your participation in the Wings for Life World Run will once again be Kiosko El Nacional.
