Ottawa, Kanada

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 Mayıs 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Canada can also run together in Ottawa. 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 07:00:00. 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 starts at Dow’s Lake and follows the scenic pathway along the Rideau Canal. Runners will enjoy a mostly flat, paved path that winds along the water, offering beautiful views of the canal and surrounding parkland. The course passes through a mix of urban and green spaces, creating a relaxed and picturesque setting in the heart of Ottawa.
