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. Now in it’s fifth year, on May 6, 2018 Wings for Life World Run participants in Kuwait can also run together in Kuwait City. 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 14:00. The virtual Catcher Car takes off 30 minutes after the start at 15 km/hr 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.

Wings for Life World Run App features:

- Be part of the global running event 

- Virtual Catcher Car - the moving finish line 
- Use the App to run on Race Day, May 6, 2018 at 11:00 UTC
