Wings for Life World Run Locations - Edmonton
The Wings for Life World Run in Edmonton is an organized App Run event held in Canada. The race welcomes both runners and wheelchair participants to move together for a charitable cause. The route takes participants through the Edmonton River Valley, starting from the meeting point at Victoria Park.
This event features a unique format without a traditional finish line. Participants use a mobile application to compete against a Virtual Catcher Car. The race continues until the car catches the athlete. The virtual vehicle begins its pursuit 30 minutes after the start at a speed of 14 km/h, steadily increasing its pace until the final participant is reached.
Key features of the Edmonton event include:
- A local course setup with a refreshment station.
- Official timing and race number assignment.
- Integration with the global event tracking system.
The financial contributions from the event are dedicated to a specific cause, as 100% of all entry fees and donations go directly to spinal cord research projects. This global initiative allows local athletes in Edmonton to join a worldwide community of participants running simultaneously across different locations.
