Wings for Life is an international not-for-profit spinal cord research foundation. They fund world-class scientific research and clinical trials around the globe aimed at healing the injured spinal cord.
In this matter there is organized an international run. 100 % of the starting fee will be donated for the spinal chord research.
What is the concept of the run?
The Wings for Life World Run is a global race with a difference to other races. Instead of a finish line, runners and wheelchair competitors – from beginners to elite athletes - race side by side to keep ahead of the Catcher Car.
On May 8, 2016, over 100,000 participants in 34 locations worldwide will start the Wings for Life World Run at precisely the same time. The Catcher Cars take off 30 minutes after the start at 15km/h and steadily increase their speed, precisely synced across the globe, until the last participants have been caught. So you can set your personal goal, or simply see how far you get.
How you can take part?
ESN want to make it possible for you to take part in this wonderful concept. YOu will have the chance to get one of 4 spots in the name of ESN. The track will lead you through our beautiful city of Vienna.
