Wings for Life World Run Birmingham
The event in Birmingham is an App Run held at Alexander Stadium. It is part of the Wings for Life World Run series, a global race format in which there is no fixed finish line. Competitors run or wheel until they are overtaken by a Virtual Catcher Car.
The stadium track is a smooth 400 meter oval with gentle curves and clear lanes. The event notes accessibility for wheelchair participants and includes local race setup elements such as a refreshment station, timing and race numbers. Participation uses the Wings for Life World Run mobile app.
