Wings for Life World Run

In a remarkable global race with 35 simultaneous starts and no set finish line, the world will run once again on May 8, 2016. In races across six continents, runners will attempt to stay ahead of pursuing ‘catcher cars’ driven to chase and overpass them. Produced by Red Bull in partnership with the Wings for Life Foundation, this innovative worldwide race with a “moving finish line” was first held in May 2014 to benefit spinal cord injury research - with the goal to find a cure - and more than $4.1 million was raised in its inaugural year.



This run will take place among palm tree-lined streets in the scenic South Florida community of Sunrise. Runners can expect moderate temperatures and flat terrain leading through suburban landscapes. The race will begin at 7 AM Eastern Time at the BB&T Center and wind through the beautiful City of Sunrise before making a northwesterly turn along U.S. 27, which leads runners into the Florida Everglades.  REGISTER HERE.
