Event Overview
The Wings for Life World Run is a unique, app-based running event where participants start simultaneously at locations around the world. This specific event takes place on May 10, 2026, starting from the Red Bull North America HQ at 1740 Stewart Street in Santa Monica, California.
Race Format
Participants run using a dedicated mobile app. All runners start at the same time, and a virtual "catcher car" begins moving 30 minutes after the start. The catcher car accelerates at a predetermined pace, and the race is over for each runner when the virtual car passes them. The goal is to see how far one can run before being caught.
Additional Details
The event supports spinal cord research, with 100% of entry fees going to the Wings for Life spinal cord research foundation. It is open to wheelchair participants. A refreshment station and local setup are provided on-site. Timing and race numbers are managed through the app. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
