Learn about a run where the finish line chases you

Our RunGuides race pick this week is the Wings for Life World Run, happening on May 8, 2022.

This is one of the more unique runs:

Everyone on earth starts running at the same time
You spend your entire race running away from the finish line

Last year over 180,000 people participated, raising millions of dollars for spinal cord research through their entry fee.

You can still register, scroll down to learn more.

At the Wings for Life World Run on May 8, 2022 you'll run together virtually via an app along with thousands of other runners, walkers and rollers from across the globe.

This race happens worldwide with all participants starting at the exact same time. Register, download the event app and use it to track yourself on race day

Shortly after the run begins a virtual “catcher car” on the app will attempt to overtake each participant. Once the car passes a runner their race is finished.

It doesn’t matter how far you go, just run as little or as far as you can before the virtual catcher car overtakes you.

Best of all, 100% of proceeds raised goes towards finding a cure for spinal cord injury!

We're continuing to keep our calendar as up to date as possible with a full list of upcoming virtual and non-virtual runs.
