Ruprechtshofen Melk, 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. Now on 10 mei 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Ruprechtshofen. 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.

We are running again for those who cannot.The start is at the car park of the Ruprechtshofen primary school, from where the route leads along the Melkuferweg – through green meadows, fresh country air and pure motivation.There are three laps to choose from, measuring 1.4 km, 2.6 km and 4 km, which can be run multiple times depending on your mood and fitness level. Whether you take it easy or give it your all – every step counts! 💪

Before the start, a group warm-up will get everyone in the mood, motivational signs await along the way, and there are water stations for refreshment.From 12:00 noon, regional food, music and a cosy get-together await you in the start/finish area. Families, children and visitors are also catered for – it promises to be a day full of exercise, community and joy.

Run with us – for yourself, for others, for a good cause. Because 100% of the entry fees go towards spinal cord research.
