Wings for Life World Run Providence
The event in Providence on May 10, 2026 is an App Run that is part of the Wings for Life World Run. Participants run or compete in wheelchairs and use the Wings for Life World Run mobile app to take part. The race does not have a traditional finish line; a Virtual Catcher Car follows the field and increases its speed until participants are overtaken.
The local meeting point is Narragansett Beer, where runners can pick up race bibs before a scenic route through India Point Park. Organizers provide refreshments and food for participants, and there is a local refreshment station and race setup. Timing and race numbers are managed at the event.
The format supports wheelchair participants and a local setup for those attendees. The Wings for Life World Run directs 100 percent of donations and entry fees to spinal cord research projects. The event notes that the mobile app is required to participate and is available for iOS and Android devices. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
