Wings for Life World Run - Glasgow
The Wings for Life World Run App Run in Glasgow is an app based event taking place in Kelvingrove Park in the city's West End. The route follows a scenic loop through the park on winding, tree lined paths with views of the River Kelvin, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, and the University of Glasgow. The course includes a mixture of gentle inclines, flatter sections and wide tarmac paths.
The event does not use a fixed finish line. Instead, participants run, jog, walk or roll while keeping ahead of a Virtual Catcher Car that pursues all competitors and progressively increases its speed until each participant is caught. The format welcomes both runners and wheelchair participants.
Local setup at Kelvingrove Park includes refreshment stations, timing and race numbers, and a digital goodie bag. T shirts are available at this location. Participation requires the Wings for Life World Run mobile app.
All donations and entry fees collected for the event are directed into spinal cord research projects. The event listing notes local partner involvement and on site support for wheelchair participants and refreshments. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
