Wings for Life World Run Boston : App Run
The event is an app-based Wings for Life World Run taking place in Boston on May 10, 2026. The local meeting point is Castle Island in South Boston, with the route running around the park and Pleasure Bay.
The format uses a Virtual Catcher Car instead of a finish line. The Virtual Catcher Car begins 30 minutes after the race start at 14 km/h and increases its speed steadily until the last participants are caught. Participants take part using the Wings for Life World Run mobile app.
The route covers approximately 2 miles of paved, flat, wheelchair-friendly pathways around Castle Island and Pleasure Bay. The event listing notes accessibility for wheelchair participants and mentions a refreshment station and local event set up. Timing and a race number are provided as part of the event logistics.
Entry fees and donations are directed entirely to spinal cord research projects. Information for joining the app-based race is available through the official mobile apps on the App Store and Google Play.
