About this event
Wings for Life World Run: Melbourne
Join a global movement on Sunday, May 10, 2026, at La Trobe Sports Stadium in Bundoora for the Wings for Life World Run—a unique charity event uniting millions of runners and wheelchair participants worldwide to support spinal cord injury research.
Unlike traditional races, this innovative event features a Virtual Catcher Car that starts 30 minutes after the 9:00 PM start time, beginning at 14 km/h and steadily increasing speed. Competitors race to stay ahead of the car across smooth, closed campus roads and scenic parkland paths. The race continues until the last athletes are caught, creating an engaging challenge for all participants.
Download the Wings for Life World Run App to connect with friends, track your progress, and join thousands of runners competing simultaneously across 528 global events. Every entry fee and donation goes directly toward spinal cord research projects, making every step count toward finding a cure.
