Perg, 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. Now on 10. maj 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Perg. 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 start is located in the middle of the Forstenlechner Stadium (Union Perg) and initially runs along the Narrn River with plenty of shade. There are refreshment stops along the way, offering water, fruit, etc. The route passes the recreational area, an outdoor pool, and a skate park, before returning directly to the stadium, where the next lap begins. This easy, shady loop is 3.2 km long and includes two refreshment stops.
