PfaffstättenThermenregion, Austria

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 Austria can also run together in PfaffstättenThermenregion. 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 will meet and run from the “Naturspielplatz Gfangl” in Pfaffstätten and run a loop which is about 4km long. The track goes right through the vineyards offering a beautiful backdrop for the race. It’s the ideal length to see and encourage your teammates frequently. It is free from traffic and offers partial shade while running next to a little stream.
