San Juan del Sur Rivas, Nicaragua

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 Nicaragua can also run together in San Juan del Sur. 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 05:00:00. 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 start in front of La Casa de Ride Nature Cafe and turn right to run along the beachfront of Playa San Juan del Sur before then turning right again following the river towards the gas station. From there we run all the way through town ending up at the beachfront again to end the loop where we started. It’s a great 3.2km loop through San Juan del Sur town.
