The Wings for Life World Run comes to Melbourne, VIC on 10 May 2026 with an app-based catcher car virtual run.

Instead of a finish line, competitors race side by side to keep ahead of the Virtual Catcher Car. 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. The race starts at exactly 11:00:00 PM with the Virtual Catcher Car starting 30 minutes after the start at 14 km/h and steadily increasing speed until the last athletes have been caught.

The 2026 event will be held on the athletics track at Lakeside Stadium in Albert Park. Set right by the lake with views of the Melbourne skyline.

100% of all donations and the entry fees go directly into spinal cord research projects.
