Gerasdorf b. Wien, 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 10 mai 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Gerasdorf b. Wien. 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.

We’ll meet at Motorikpark Gerasdorf and head out for a run along the Marchfeldkanal toward Vienna. We’ll cross two of the Marchfeldkanal bridges to form a loop that brings us back around toward the Gerasdorf Badeteich and Motorikpark.

The route is a mix of unpaved roads and well-used trails. Last year we had a great experience out in nature—running outside the city with only fellow runners and cyclists around is a fantastic feeling. Path conditions will vary depending on the weather.
