Karlsruhe Innenstadt, Германия

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 мая 2026 г. Wings for Life World Run participants in Germany can also run together in Karlsruhe. 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 along the river Alb makes the Wings for Life Run in Karlsruhe a truly special experience. You start together in the Karl Kaufmann Stadium, run an initial lap on the track and immediately feel the race atmosphere before heading out towards the Europabad into the Günther-Klotz-Anlage. There, a beautiful loop along the Alb awaits you, passing meadows and paths many of you know from your training runs – only this time you are all running together for a good cause. The course, including the stadium lap, is approximately 4.5 km long and leads you back into the Karl Kaufmann Stadium, where start, finish and your refreshments are located and where there will always be someone available for you. This roughly 4.5 km loop is run as many times as possible until the virtual Catcher Car catches you – the faster you run, the more laps you can complete. This way everyone can run at their own pace and still be part of a big global run, where every meter covered helps to support research on spinal cord injury.
