About the race
Wings for Life World Run : App Run Event in Sydney takes place at Pit Straight, Sydney Motorsport Park on 9 May 2027. The location uses the northern loop of the motorsport park, a fully asphalted track arranged as a 2.8 km loop.
This event follows the Wings for Life format in which runners and wheelchair participants compete against a Virtual Catcher Car instead of finishing at a fixed line. The Virtual Catcher Car begins pursuing participants 30 minutes after the race start at 14 km/h and progressively increases speed until the last participants are caught. The event listing notes accessibility for wheelchair participants and local provision of a refreshment station and timing with race numbers.
Participation at this site is organised through the Wings for Life World Run mobile app; the app is required to take part in App Run locations. Participants receive a digital goodie bag. All entry fees and donations collected for the World Run are directed to spinal cord research projects.
Local event information highlights include on-site refreshment stations, race timing and numbers, and an accessible track surface. The format allows runners and wheelchair users to run together while the Virtual Catcher Car determines when a participant finishes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
