Wings for Life 2015

Introduced in 2014, the Wings for Life World Run was a global running event on May 3, 2015. Athletes in 35 locations around the world started at precisely the same time, 11am UTC. As if that wasn’t unique enough, the race has no finish line. Instead, the runners were followed by a Catcher Car, which took off 30 minutes after the start at 15km/h and steadily increased its speed until the last athletes were caught. Last year’s global champion, Lemawork Ketema (ETH), was caught after more than 5 hours and 78 km.

It took place in locations from Cape Town to Santiago, Melbourne to Munich to raise money for spinal cord injury research.
