Maissau, Австрия

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 мая 2027 г. Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Maissau. 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.

This year, for the first time, the Maissau App Run will begin at the Maissau municipal fire station. The route follows paved paths, taking participants on a loop of approximately 4 kilometers toward Parisdorf; there, at the village sign, the course turns left, continues along the back-access road, and eventually leads back to Maissau.

The course is suitable for runners, walkers, and wheelchair users. Everyone is welcome to take part—regardless of pace or the distance you choose to cover. After completing each lap, you simply head back out onto the course—until the virtual Catcher Car catches up with you.
