Oettingen in Bayern, Niemcy

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 Germany can also run together in Oettingen in Bayern. 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 starting point is at the Biergarten Wörnitz-Freibad Oettingen, where the refreshment station is also located. From there, the route follows a circular path on asphalt and paved trails, passing between meadows and houses. Exact route options are still being planned and will be announced in advance.
