Pretty much everything about the Wings for Life World Run is different than you know from other runs. On the one hand, the starting shot is fired at the same time for everyone worldwide – in Austria at exactly 1 p.m.
Second, there is no finish line. To do this, the so-called catcher car takes up the pursuit 30 minutes after the start and gradually overtakes the participants. Leisurely runners are overtaken at kilometer 5, for example, while top athletes sweat up to kilometer 60. Everyone reaches the finish line.

In Austria, you can take part in organized runs, for example in Vienna, or via an interactive app, regardless of where you are. With the unique listening experience and the virtual catcher car in the Wings for Life World Run app, every participant is connected to the worldwide starting field even in the individual run.
