Event Format

This event uses the Wings for Life World Run app-run format. Participants run using the official mobile app from a physical start line location. A virtual "catcher car" begins moving 30 minutes after the start and gradually increases its speed until it catches up with each participant. The run ends for an individual when the virtual car passes them, which determines their final distance.

Location and Start

The start line is at the Neptune Statue on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk at 31st Street. The event is accessible for wheelchair participants.

Participation Details

All participants must download the official Wings for Life World Run app to take part. There is a checklist to complete within the app before the run. The event does not have a fixed distance; each participant runs as far as they can before being caught by the virtual catcher car. All entry fees from the event are donated to spinal cord research.
