Race description
The Wings for Life World Run is a unique global race held simultaneously around the world. Instead of a traditional finish line, participants race against a virtual Catcher Car, which starts 30 minutes after the runners and gradually increases its speed until it catches the last participant. In Gdańsk Południe, the race will take place on May 10, 2026, starting at 13:00 near the Parkrun Gdańsk-Poludnie finish area. The course is an approximately 3 km loop on a paved surface, with a minimal uphill section on the connector. All entry fees support spinal cord research.
