St. Marienkirchen a. H., 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 10, 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in St. Marienkirchen a. H.. 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.

A running route on the forest path through the Hausruckwald, which protects against heat, rain and wind. The slightly hilly route offers a supply station at the start and at the turning point, after about 4 km. There is a shuttle between the stations until the catcher car finally ends the run.
