Wings for Life World Run: Bring A Friend! On May 10, 2026, the world’s largest running event returns as the community comes together to run, walk, and roll in the Wings for Life World Run - and we hope you’ll be right there with us on race day!
As an added incentive, if you register between Jan. 23 and 30, you’ll receive a free App Run voucher for a friend or family member courtesy of our partner adidas, as it’s always more fun with a friend! They’ll give you a free entry in the race for the person you most want to share it with. In other words, with just a single registration, you can double the fun and double the money raised to help find a cure for spinal cord injury. ❤️ Click here to register.
The Wings for Life World Run takes place annually and is known for its unique format, where all participants start at the exact same time across the globe. Unlike conventional races, there is no fixed finish line. Instead, the Wings for Life World Run is the only race where the finish line catches you. Thirty minutes after the start, a virtual “Catcher Car” begins its pursuit and gradually overtakes each participant, ensuring everyone finishes the event. When it does, your race is over. The last male and female participants to be caught are named the global champions. All proceeds go to spinal cord injury research! For more information, visit www.wingsforlife.com.
Thanks!
