Wings for Life World Run El Paso
The Wings for Life World Run in El Paso is part of a global race for runners and wheelchair participants. The event uses a Virtual Catcher Car instead of a traditional finish line; participants run until the car catches them. The El Paso edition is scheduled for May 10, 2026, and is organized as part of the Wings for Life World Run.
The local meeting point is Viejo Coffee near the university. The indicated route is a 2.7-mile loop around the park, running along East Campbell and North Campbell. After completing a loop, participants may run another circuit or return to Viejo Coffee. The event uses a mobile app for participation and timing.
Event information notes accessibility for wheelchair participants, a refreshment station and local set up, and provisions for timing and race numbers. The organizer states that 100% of donations and entry fees go directly into spinal cord research projects. The race format centers on keeping ahead of the Virtual Catcher Car, which begins to follow the field after the official start and increases speed over time until the last athletes are caught.
