Wings for Life World Run 2026 Poznań

The Wings for Life World Run is a unique global race in which all participants start at the same time around the world, running from the Catcher Car. There is no traditional finish line—participants run until they are caught by the car. All entry fees go towards research into treatments for spinal cord injuries, making this not only a sporting challenge but also a charity event. You can take part locally or via the app, which lets you run from anywhere in the world.

Participants can join the race locally or via the Wings for Life World Run app, which tracks time and distance. 100% of entry fees support spinal cord research. Marketing tools and promotional materials are available for organisers of local app runs. Taking part supports research into treatments for severed spinal cords; the event also includes merchandise sales and the option to join remotely, with all proceeds going to scientific research.
