Only two nights of sleep and then it’s time to run for those who can’t during the Wings for Life World Run! Sign up at www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com and join Team Challenge Family at https://www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/en/teams/5PlOW5. Plus, if you’re in The Netherlands, join the App Run at the HQ of Challenge Family in Almere!
The Wings for Life World Run is a running competition held on the first weekend of May since 2014 to collect funds for the not-for-profit foundation Wings for Life. The entry fee goes completely to Spinal Cord Research. It became the largest running event in 2021 with 184,236 runners participating in one single event. As Challenge Family we are very proud to participate every year with a nice team of our team members and many more athletes from all over the world.
The Wings for Life World Run is peculiar in that participants don’t have to run a specific distance like in comparable competitions. At the Wings for Life World Run, all participants start at the same time, worldwide. It doesn’t matter whether they are professional athletes, fun runners, total beginners or in a wheelchair. There is no traditional finish line. Instead, a “Catcher Car” pursues and passes the runners and rollers, one after the other either physically at one of the Flagship Runs or virtually with the app, will be caught. That makes it the only race worldwide where everyone finishes.
Enjoy this video with some highlights of last year’s edition and make sure to join us upcoming Sunday, May 7!
