About this app

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

310,719 participants in 169 countries took part in the 2025 Wings for Life World Run, but we know 2026 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

Ratings and reviews

The app had three jobs: to track my time, my distance and tell me when the pacer car caught me. It managed to do one and that was track the time. That I could've done by glancing at my watch. But the app told me my race was over when it wasn't (and I should've known better but was in running mode) and I realised to late. And the distance was wrong as well. Really extremely dissapointed and now the distance shown next to my name is less than half my actual distance. I'll delete it now.

Had a fantastic time at the race It was incredibly fun and so well organised from start to finish. I really enjoyed every moment of it and felt motivated throughout. Most importantly, I ran to support those who can't run themselves, and that made the whole experience even more meaningful. The only downside was the sun it was very hot out there but the great atmosphere and excellent organisation more than made up for it. Highly recommended Would definitely participate again in 2027.

I'm sad coz my app didn't work and I did everything, all app settings where correct, all bars green but the app didn't give me the start run option we didn't even get our Tshirts in Bloemfontein as we were told it's for CPT and JHP Yet we paid the same registration fee, I'm really heart broken as this feels like a waist of time and was doing it for a good course.
