Allentsteig, Austria

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 Austria can also run together in Allentsteig. 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 route follows a varied 2.5 km circuit around the beautiful Allentsteig town lake. About half of the course runs along paved or asphalt paths, while the other half leads along pleasant forest trails. The loop is exceptionally scenic, offering a diverse mix of lakeside, forest, and natural surroundings. Thanks to the circuit layout, you can flexibly determine your own distance—whether you prefer running or walking. A refreshment station located directly on the course provides necessary hydration.
