Weiden am See, 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 Weiden am See. 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.

The run route starts next to the lake at Seebad Weiden am See and follows a flat, easy course. From the lakeside, it heads in the direction of the town, staying on mostly level terrain with no hills or mountains along the way. The surface is a mix of paved road and compact dirt paths, making it suitable for a smooth, steady run. The route forms a round course, looping back toward the starting point near the lake.
