Waterloo, 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 10 mei 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Canada can also run together in Waterloo. 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 07:00:00. 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.

The run will start just outside of Runners' Choice at 7:00am sharp, and will take place on a 5km cement loop through KW: Spurline Trail, to Louisa St., Louisa St. to King St., King St. to Willis Way, Willis Way back to Runners' Choice, repeat (or be happy with one loop finished!).
