Tokyo shinjuku ku, Giappone

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 Japan can also run together in Tokyo. 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 20:00:00. 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.

This 1 km loop starts at the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery and circles the south side of Jingu Gaien. You’ll pass the famous ginkgo avenue halfway through, and the Picture Gallery is beautifully lit from 7:30 p.m.

May evenings are cool and great for running, but bring a warm layer for after your run.

Due to ongoing renovation work, the event may need to be canceled depending on the circumstances. We sincerely appreciate your understanding
