Wings For Life - World Run

The Catcher car

Today I participated in making history, I ran the world run "Wings for Life" which is a charity run for spinal cord research. 35397 people started in runs in 32 countries, all starting at the same time. The race did not have a fixed distance, or a finish line… well technically it was after 100km, but no one can run that long. So instead there was this Catcher car, starting 30min after the runners, with a speed of 15km/h, gradually increasing. This was the finish line; run as far as you can before the car catches you. After some time it caught up with the runners, and one by one we were caught. After just above 54 (!) km the last woman was taken, a young lady from Norway - congrats! The last man was beaten after 78km!! 78, that´s insane! I managed just above 19km and was happy with that. My goal was 23… so next year I´ll have to say 35km or something ;)


I am very proud to have participated in this run, especially since we together collected more than 3mill Euros! Imagine what that can do for research!

Next year I am certain this run will be even bigger, when the media knows more about it. Join you too! Sign up for information at: www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/join :)
