Wings for Life World Run Waterloo
The event takes place in Waterloo, Canada, with the start located just outside Runners' Choice. The course is a 5 km cement loop that follows the Spurline Trail, Louisa Street, King Street and Willis Way before returning to Runners' Choice, and the loop may be repeated.
The race uses a format without a fixed finish line. Participants including wheelchair users run until the Virtual Catcher Car catches them. The Catcher Car begins 30 minutes after the start at an initial speed of 14 km/h and steadily increases speed until the last athletes are caught.
Participation requires the Wings for Life World Run App. The event setup includes a refreshment station, timing and race numbers, and local arrangements for wheelchair participants. All donations and entry fees are directed to spinal cord research projects. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
