Newcastle, Australia

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 maja 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Australia can also run together in Newcastle. 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 21:00:00. 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.

Fearnley Dawes Athletics Track offers a flat, fast 400m synthetic surface in the heart of Newcastle, providing a safe and accessible environment for runners and participants of all abilities. Its enclosed layout and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal location to take on the Wings for Life World Run in a supportive, community-driven setting.
