Zürich Balgrist, Svizzera

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 Switzerland can also run together in Zürich. 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 race starts at 1 p.m. at the Balgrist University Hospital. The approximately 2.5 km long circuit leads over slightly hilly terrain across the Lengg area in Zurich. The route is mainly paved, with a short section on a flat, easy-to-roll and run gravel path downhill. It is challenging, but well suited for runners and wheelchair users. Wide paths, short climbs, and gentle descents make the route varied and easy to navigate. You can complete it as many times as you like until the virtual catcher car catches up with you.

The route is challenging but well suited for both runners and wheelchair users. Helpers are on hand at more demanding sections to provide assistance if needed.
