Millions of people with spinal cord injuries share a single dream. Through taking part in the Wings for Life World Run you can help to make this dream a reality- a cure for spinal cord injury.

Twist- Finish line chases you!
Amateurs will be rubbing shoulders with elite athletes. A Catcher Car – sets off 30 minutes after the last runner crosses the start line – chases down and passes the runners, with the last male and female athletes to be caught by the cars crowned champions. The overall winners of the Wings for Life World Run are the man and woman who have covered the most distance before being reeled in by the Catcher Car.
