Nürtingen, Germany

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 Germany can also run together in Nürtingen. 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.

Running for those who can't. On May 4, the NOW RUNNING CLUB is organizing an app run for the Wings For Life World Run at the Neckarau sports field (tartan track). Participants can either run laps on the tartan track or outrun the catcher car on a roughly 4km loop through Zizishausen along the Neckar River.
