Ernsthofen, Autriche

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 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Ernsthofen. 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 13:00:00. 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.

Starting at the village square (Ortsplatz), the route follows a scenic 5.5 km loop through Ernsthofen and along the Enns River. After completing the loop, participants can continue for additional laps until they are caught by the virtual Catcher Car.
