Friedberg, Avstrija

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. maja 2027 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Friedberg. 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 is a 4.4 km loop starting and finishing at the Friedberg Sports Centre. It leads through the residential areas near the sports centre to Friedberg railway station and back to the starting point. The route has a total elevation profile of 51 metres and is wheelchair accessible.
