What is the Wings for Life World Run?

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. Now in its eleventh year, on 4 მაისი 2025 Wings for Life World Run participants in Argentina can also run together in Rosario. 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 08:00:00. 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.

Track

On May 4, 2025, Rosario will join a global initiative: Wings for Life World Run, a unique race where you'll participate alongside hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, all united by the same cause. Taking advantage of the "recreational street" on the Paraná River waterfront, runners will enjoy an unparalleled experience on a loop circuit along the scenic Rosario riverside, while competing virtually against runners from around the globe.

In this race, there is no finish line. Instead, a virtual car will start moving shortly after the race begins, and your goal is to stay in the race for as long as possible. Every kilometer you cover brings us one step closer to finding a cure for spinal cord injuries, as 100% of registrations and donations go directly to this cause.

Join the challenge and make history running in Rosario to support a global mission. Your effort counts, and every step brings us closer to a cure!
