About this app

Woohoo, it’s that time of year again when you register to run for those who can’t

265,818 participants in 169 countries took part in the 2024 Wings for Life World Run, but we know 2025 can be even BIGGER. Enter: you.

We're a bit different to other races, we don’t use a finish line for starters. Instead, our Catcher Car chases you. Sounds fun, right? And whether you’re running or rolling (in a wheelchair), you choose your own distance. The best bit: 100% of your entry fee goes directly to the Wings for Life foundation to help fund spinal cord research. Win-win.

There's more; wherever you are, you’ll be joining tens of thousands of runners all over the world, all racing at the same time. You can take part with friends, either in real life or virtually, or go it alone. Whatever your vibe, register now directly on our app.

Actually, our app has a bunch of great features:

- Virtual Catcher Car
- Goal calculator and Preparation Run Mode
- GPS tracking
- Sharing functions for your mates
- We also speak 19 languages

Terrible experience today. Everything worked perfectly up until the start. After the "go" I heard nothing. In the end I found out that despite all permissions being granted, battery saver off, app locked etc my run wasn't tracked at all (Strava worked!). I'm deeply disappointed and sorely missed the experience of knowing where the car was and how far I had come. I could have had this every day without the need to participate. At least I have the comfort of knowing the money goes to a good cause.

It's a great cause, but the car caught me way before the pace mentioned in the website. I was going for 14 km, but it did stopped me at 8.5km, with my pace of 6.43 min/km. I guess it did check the current min/km and not total time. According to website for 9 km the pace is 9min/km so I was way ahead. Anyway keep doing this for the great cause!!

To many calls about who we are and why we do it, almost didn't have time to think by myself. High five motivating was awesome, overall, it's the coolest running event that I have ever seen!
