Van İpekyolu, Türkiye

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 Türkiye can also run together in Van. 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 14:00:00. 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 run for hope in the blue of Lake Van. We spread our wings for good. Wings for Life World Run brings thousands of steps together on the shores of Lake Van for one single purpose: supporting spinal cord injury research. Join this unique scenery and run simultaneously with the whole world; don’t stop, run until you’re caught. Because in this race, there is no escape — only hope.
