Innsbruck Hofgarten, Austria

The Wings for Life World Run is a truly unique and global race for both runners and wheelchair participants. Instead of a finish line, competitors race side by side to keep ahead of the Virtual Catcher Car. On May 9, 2027 Wings for Life World Run participants in Austria can also run together in Innsbruck. Meet up with your friends, download the Wings for Life World Run App and join all the other people running until the Virtual Catcher Car catches you of course. The race starts at exactly 1:00:00 PM. The Virtual Catcher Car takes off 30 minutes after the start at 14 km/h and steadily increases its speed until the last athletes have been caught. 100% of all donations and the entry fees go directly into spinal cord research projects.

The start and finish are on Karl-Kapferer-Straße in Innsbruck. From there, the route heads north along Kaiserjägerstraße and continues along Tschurtschenthalerstraße to Rennweg. On Rennweg, the route heads south and back to the Hofgarten. Runners finish by running through the park, whilst wheelchair users take an accessible route back to the finish.

The route is approximately 1.7 kilometres long for runners and around 1.4 kilometres for the accessible route.
