Solothurn, Zwitserland

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 Switzerland can also run together in Solothurn. 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.

Mainly flat, along the river Aare. We meet at the Infopoint displayed on one of the pictures. From there, everyone can decide individually where exactly to run. The main route is from the red bridge to the white one with wodden planks and back. But there are different possibilities to make that bound longer. For the ones in wheelchairs, take the route towards the city, there the path is even and solid.
