Martin, Slowakije

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 Slovakia can also run together in Martin. 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 starts in Športpark Pltníky and continues along the bike path along the Turiec River towards Priekopy. After about 1.7 km, there will be a place to turn around at the footbridge over the Turiec River, from where the runners will return to the starting point. The total length of the route is approx. 3.4 km.
