St. Pölten, 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 St. Pölten. 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.

Starting Point: Ratzersdorfer See (Go-Active entrance)

Route: We start together at Ratzersdorfer See and run upstream along the Traisen river. Around halfway, we reach the Blumenwegbrücke, where we cross the bridge and head back on the other side. On the way back, we continue until the Holzbrücke near our starting point.

Format: We start together, then everyone runs at their own pace. Whether easy or more ambitious – everyone is welcome!

Distance: One loop is approx. 4.5 km → Goal: collect as many kilometers as possible
