Canberra, Australia

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 maggio 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Australia can also run together in Canberra. 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.

Meeting at Margot Wine & Espresso Bar, the course around Lake Burley Griffin is a flat, scenic loop along Canberra’s central lake, offering wide paved paths and uninterrupted views of the city’s key landmarks. Its smooth surface and open layout make it an ideal setting for the Wings for Life World Run, creating a unique course for runners to take on the Virtual Catcher Car through the heart of Australia's Capital City via the Wings for Life App Run.
