Vancouver Seawall, Canada

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 Wings for Life World Run participants in Canada can also run together in Vancouver. 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 04:00:00. 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 at the entrance to Granville island with a10k, and 21k out and back, along the seawall. (5:25/k pace for the 21k) Runners can also choose to turn around at any point along the route for a shorter distance. We plan on finishing up at the Kitsilano Starbucks on Cornwall.
