On May 4, 2025, communities around Australia are coming together to run, walk, and roll in the Wings for Life World Run, and we really hope you’ll be right there with us.
Register to run for those who can’t and help us find a cure for spinal cord injury.
THE RACE IS UNIQUE
The Wings for Life World Run is different. It’s not like other races. Everyone across the planet starts their race at exactly the same time: 11:00 am UTC. That means that participants in Melbourne start at 9:00pm, the UK at 12:00 pm, in Germany at 1:00 pm, in Florida at 7:00 am and so on…
You can join us in person at our Melbourne run, or you can run wherever you are via the Wings For Life World Run app. Register for the Melbourne location and get more information HERE .
Professional athletes, fun runners and total beginners are all in it together against the Catcher Car. After 30 minutes of running a virtual Catcher Car will take off at 14km/h pace and steadily increase until all runners have been caught. Once it catches you, that is your finish line.
The aim is to run as far as you can and ultimately be the last person caught – remember this is a global event, you’re competing against people from all over the world. Because there is no finish line this is an event for all abilities. Walk 1km or run 45km, just do your best and raise money for a great cause.
The best bit? 100% of proceeds go towards spinal cord research.
RESEARCH GIVES HOPE
In this moment – while you’re reading this – somebody has injured their spinal cord and will be paralysed. No feeling in their legs, maybe no feeling in their arms or hands either.
Immobile. Constantly dependent on the assistance of others. We want to help. As a charity foundation, Wings for Life supports cutting-edge research worldwide.
There are currently three research projects being funded by the Wings for Life Foundation in Australia, joining 324 research projects that have been funded by Wings for Life since 2004.
Our big goal: To find a cure for spinal cord injury.
Looking forward to having you join us on May 4th,
Your Wings for Life World Run team
