Linz Oberösterreich, Oostenrijk

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 mei 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Linz. 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 runs through the Urfahr district of Linz in the form of a figure-eight loop and several laps through "Heilhamer Park". There is a refreshment and entertainment station with motivating musical accompaniment before, during, and after the World Run. Also available: water, fruit, granola bars, isotonic drinks, small snacks, and surprises!
