Veľké Rovné Drevicom, Slovakia

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 Slovakia can also run together in Veľké Rovné. 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.

We start the run in Veľké Rovné and head towards Kotešová. From there, the route continues to Žilina, passing through scenic surroundings. At the water reservoir, we turn around and follow the same road back. The course runs along paved roads and is perfect for everyone – whether you want to race or simply enjoy the movement and atmosphere.
