Lublin, Poland

The Wings for Life World Run is a truly unique and global race for both runners and wheelchair participants. Instead of a finish line, competitors race side by side to keep ahead of the Virtual Catcher Car. On May 9, 2027 Wings for Life World Run participants in Poland can also run together in Lublin. Meet up with your friends, download the Wings for Life World Run App and join all the other people running until the Virtual Catcher Car catches you of course. The race starts at exactly 1:00:00 PM. The Virtual Catcher Car takes off 30 minutes after the start at 14 km/h and steadily increases its speed until the last athletes have been caught. 100% of all donations and the entry fees go directly into spinal cord research projects.

Location: Park Ludowy, Lublin.

Surface & Terrain: Flat, broad, and paved paths (consisting mainly of asphalt and hard-packed gravel park trails). The entire route is completely car-free, ensuring high safety and smooth running.
