Hobart, Australie

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 Australia can also run together in Hobart. 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 21:00:00. 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.

The Hobart event takes place at Soldiers Memorial Oval, located on the Queens Domain, just a few minutes from the CBD. The oval sits within a large, multi-use sporting precinct surrounded by open parkland, walking tracks, and the iconic Soldiers Memorial Avenue.

The course itself is 600m in length and uses the flat, grassed oval and surrounding Domain pathways, creating a smooth, accessible loop ideal for all levels of runners. It’s a relaxed but scenic setting with plenty of space to settle into rhythm, all within one of Hobart’s key outdoor recreation hubs.
