Palermo Mondello, 義大利

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 2026年5月10日 Wings for Life World Run participants in Italy can also run together in Palermo. 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 starting point will be in the pedestrian area of Valdesi (Mondello) near Club Lauria, a classic starting location for runners in Palermo. For the occasion, it will also host the pre- and post-race village, creating a welcoming and energetic atmosphere.

From here, we will head along the Mondello seafront, running an 8 km out-and-back course. It is a sea-view route, ideal for enjoying an authentic, safe, and truly unique running experience.
