Sankt Ulrich bei Steyr, 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 9, 2027 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Sankt Ulrich bei Steyr. 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 Elektro Wild parking area – that’s where the journey begins, legs fresh and motivation high. From there, the route continues straight onto the Ennsmeile. There are two course options to choose from:

• Moderate course: approx. 5.5 km – perfect for those who prefer a relaxed pace
• Pro course: 8.3 km – for everyone who wants to stay ahead of the Catcher Car just a little longer Both courses finish down at the power plant – the place where you know: mission accomplished.
