Gerasdorf bei Wien, Avusturya

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 Mayıs 2027 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Gerasdorf bei Wien. 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.

Get ready for a scenic nature run along the Marchfeldkanal! We’ll launch from Motorikpark Gerasdorf, cross two bridges toward Vienna, and loop back past the Gerasdorf Badeteich.

The route is a dynamic mix of wide gravel roads and adventurous single-track dirt paths. Please note that the course remains open to public traffic—while it’s generally a peaceful, quiet trail out in nature, you'll be sharing the path with fellow runners, cyclists, and the occasional local tractor! Keep your eyes open on the narrower trail sections, adapt to the weather-dependent ground conditions, and enjoy the open skies!
