Nötsch im Gailtal, 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 9 mei 2027 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Nötsch im Gailtal. 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.

Four circular routes, ranging from 3.2 km to 9.5 km, are available. Depending on the direction of travel, runners may encounter one another along the course, providing an opportunity for mutual motivation. The event begins with a group start at the sports grounds, from where the various circuits lead around the airfield in the market town of Nötsch.
