Hamburg Hamburg-Nord, Nemecko

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. mája 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Germany can also run together in Hamburg. 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 meeting point is at the barbecue-area sign, which is also visible in the picture, at 12 o'clock. From there, the route is a 2.5 km loop through the Stadtpark. About 600 m of the course is paved, and once per lap there is a section of cobblestones about 2 m wide that needs to be crossed. The rest of the route is very firmly compacted sand and/or dirt. Unless it rains excessively, all wheelchair users should therefore be able to use the paths. The route is mostly flat (the entire 2.5 km lies within a 10-meter elevation range).

After the run, there will be a group barbecue at the grilling area, with donations collected for the Fördergemeinschaft der Querschnittgelähmten in Deutschland e.V. (Support Association for People with Spinal Cord Injuries in Germany).
