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 mei 2025 Wings for Life World Run participants in United States can also run together in Boston. 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 07:00:00. 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
Welcome to the Boston App Run! We will be running though Back Bay Fens on a 1.2mile loop. The starting line will be at the intersection of Park Drive and Jersey Street.
Wheelchair participants
On 4 mei 2025 wheelchair participants and runners start side by side at this track. The only requirement: wheelchair participants have to start in everyday wheelchairs.
Refreshment station and local set up
There won't be any refreshment stations on the run – so make sure to bring your own drinks and snacks if needed.
Timing and race number
You will receive your personal race number via email and it’s also available next to your starting number on the website a couple of days before the race.
