Wings for Life World Run : Aberdeen (App Run)
The Aberdeen App Run takes place at Balgownie Playing Fields, north of the River Don near the Bridge of Don. The venue uses well-maintained grass pitches with a flat, multi-lap route around the perimeter of the fields. The course is primarily grass, open and accessible, with views toward the River Don and surrounding greenery.
This event follows the Wings for Life World Run format with no fixed finish line; instead participants race to stay ahead of a Virtual Catcher Car that begins pursuing runners after a set delay and increases its speed over time. The event is open to both runners and wheelchair participants. Timing, race numbers, a refreshment station and local event setup are provided.
Participation requires the Wings for Life World Run mobile app. Entry fees and donations are directed entirely to spinal cord research projects. The organizer listed for the location is Wings for Life World Run, with local arrangements at Balgownie Playing Fields.
Details such as exact start procedures, precise timing sequences and app instructions are provided by the organizer. The layout and grass surface make the location suitable for short circuits like 5K or 10K loops, or for continuing until the Catcher Car catches up.
