Rostock Hansaviertel, Germania

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 Germany can also run together in Rostock. 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.

The route starts at the Sports Institute at Waldessaum and leads through several marked trails through Barnstofer Forest, depending on distance and barriers. There will be a trail for wheelchair users and skaters, as well as a trail in the forest where everyone can determine their own distance. In addition, excursions to other areas of the city for individual running are possible. The start and finish of the run are at the Sports Institute at Waldessaum.
