Geel, Belgia

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 9 maja 2027 Wings for Life World Run participants in Belgium can also run together in Geel. 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.

Geel welcomes you to the heart of the Antwerp Kempen. The route is 5,5 km and takes you through the typical Kempen landscape, offering a beautiful mix of green meadows, country roads and fields. The entire route is paved and accessible to wheelchairs and pushchairs.
