Wings for Life World Run : Defiance

The Defiance App Run is a local location of the Wings for Life World Run held on the Katy Trail along the Missouri River at Circle 6 Acres. The event accommodates runners and wheelchair participants and uses the Wings for Life World Run app as part of the race format. Instead of a fixed finish line, competitors run until they are overtaken by the Virtual Catcher Car, which increases speed as the event progresses.

The local meeting area is set within a town center that features nearby eateries, food and drink options, and live music. The event setup includes a refreshment station, timing and race numbers, and facilities to support wheelchair participants. All donations and entry fees are directed to spinal cord research projects.

Organizer information is provided by Wings for Life World Run. The venue is described as accessible for wheelchair participants and intended to connect app-based runners with the global event format. Distances listed for this location include several standard options for participant goals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
