Wings for Life World Run - Burlington, VT
This App Run in Burlington, Vermont is part of the Wings for Life World Run. The local meeting point is at the Champlain College Leahy Center, 175 Lakeside Avenue, Burlington, VT. The event on May 10, 2026 uses the Wings for Life World Run mobile app for participation and timing.
The event follows the global catch-me-if-you-can format: runners and wheelchair participants move ahead of a Virtual Catcher Car that begins pursuit after the run starts, travelling at an initial speed and increasing until participants are overtaken. The format applies to both runners and wheelchair participants; the local course and support are arranged accordingly.
The course will be either a flat path along Lake Champlain or a similar bike path option, and offers two published route distances:
- 5K route along Lake Champlain bike path
- 5 mile route along Lake Champlain bike path
Local services include a refreshment station, timing and race number distribution, and an accessible setup for wheelchair participants. Organizer information lists Wings for Life World Run and partners for the global event. All donations and entry fees collected for this event are designated for spinal cord research projects.
