Puerto Vallarta, México

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 de maio de 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Mexico can also run together in Puerto Vallarta. 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 05:00:00. 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.

Experience one of Puerto Vallarta’s most iconic routes along the Malecón, a wide, fully paved oceanfront promenade that stretches along the city’s vibrant coastline. This scenic course offers uninterrupted views of the Pacific, refreshing sea breezes, and a dynamic atmosphere lined with cafés, restaurants, and local culture.

Perfect for runners and walkers of all levels, the route is flat, accessible, and energizing at any time of day. As you move along the boardwalk, take in the Malecón’s famous sculptures and public art installations—each adding a unique visual moment to your run.
