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 2026. gada 10. maijs Wings for Life World Run participants in United Kingdom can also run together in Aberdeen. 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 12:00:00. 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.

Join us at Balgownie Playing Fields, located just north of the River Don near the Bridge of Don area.

Set on well-maintained grass pitches with wide open space, the course offers a flat and accessible multi-lap route around the perimeter of the fields. Runners can enjoy scenic views towards the River Don and the surrounding greenery, while the open layout makes it easy to keep track of fellow participants and soak up the atmosphere. The surface is primarily grass, so it’s ideal for a relaxed, social run—whether you’re aiming for a 5K, 10K, or simply going the distance until the Catcher Car closes in.
