Bastrop, Sjedinjene Države

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. svibnja 2026. Wings for Life World Run participants in United States can also run together in Bastrop. 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 6:00:00. 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.

Before 6 AM Sunday make sure you have your app open and you're ready to run with light and hydration. While this is not an official event as part of the Wildflower trail races, we are happy support our WFLWR runners at our aid stations throughout their run. There is no set course, you are welcome to use our designated marked trails for the event or choose your own adventure (please be careful on the roadways). 

If you are entering Bastrop State Park you will need to purchase a state park pass, we recomend doing this ahead of time via our RunSignup Wildflower store. 

The Mayfest shuttles start until 5:30 AM. You can either start your run from Mayfest (be careful running the roads, lights are a must) or, be ready to run and take the first shuttle at 5:30 to the Wildflower start/finish where you can start your run from there. You are welcome to take the shuttle back to your car from the start/finish after your run. A few other notes:

You are running at your own risk, this is not an official TROT event.

We do not have a pickup service other than the shuttle to/from Mayfest and the Start/Finish area, you are responsible for getting back to your vehicle from where ever your run finishes. 

Lights and hydration are highly recommended.

See the Wilflower course maps to plan your route, the aid station on the north end of Harmon Rd will open around 7:30 AM so don't plan on volunteers being there early in the morning as our races do not cross this location until mile 9 of our 50k/Marathon (starting at 7 AM). Other water refills exist at the South Harmon trail crossing and the scenic overlook. You can always loop back past your personal gear at the start/finish and use our main aid station.

Feel free to talk to the Race Director, Cal Neff, at the Saturday night social or packet pickup to let him know you plan to participate in the WFLWR.
