Machala, Ecuador

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 травня 2026 Wings for Life World Run participants in Ecuador can also run together in Machala. 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 06:00:00. 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 an ecological park located in the city of Machala, Ecuador that has a loop of 2.6 km. It is in good condition and is accessible to all communities. It is also a point of interest where many athletes carry out their training.
