Telfs, 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. Now on May 10, 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Telfs. 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 starting point for the suggested route is at Eduard-Wallnöfer-Platz in the centre of Telfs. The loop ("Moritzenrunde") with approx. 4 km is run clockwise and leads to the "Sauweide" and via Moritzenstraße and Weißenbachgasse back to the Schools' campus and the same way back to city centre and Eduard-Wallnöfer-Platz.

The routes are mostly on gravel paths and are free of motorized traffic. In case roads are used, they are closed for traffic within a specific time period.
