Minneapolis, United States

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 United States can also run together in Minneapolis. 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 6:00:00 AM. 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.

An invigorating riverside run at Minneapolis’ Boom Island Park, where scenic trails wind along the Mississippi amid historic charm and breathtaking city views — the perfect fusion of beauty, heritage, culture and motion
