We hope that will join us on this worldwide event called Wings For Life.
At the Wings for Life World Run, everyone starts at the same time, worldwide. Professional athletes, fun runners and total beginners are all in it together against the Catcher Car. The moving finish line, the Catcher Car begins its pursuit 30 minutes after the start, passing runners and wheelchair users one after the other until the race is over. The best bit? 100% of all entry fees and donations goes directly to spinal cord research to find a cure for spinal cord injury.

The Wings for Life World Run is different. It’s not like other races. Everyone across the planet starts their race at exactly the same time: 11:00 am UTC. That means participants in the UK start at 12:00 pm, in Germany at 1:00 pm, in Florida at 7:00 am and so on… There is no finish line. There is a (Virtual) Catcher Car that begins its chase 30 minutes after the start signal. Fun runners, for example, make it to kilometer 5. Professional athletes power on to over 60 km. Do you have a goal in mind?

‘Spicy’ Mark shown us this event and took part in it every year in his wheel chair, so there is no excuse for you not to do it.

Like last year we want everyone to start up Hope Mountain with us, run or walk down to Llanfynydd, then see how far you can keep going until the virtual catcher car catches you, for those more able we intend to run to Ffrith Hall, back to Llanfnydd and beyond to and along the railway line. How many laps can you do?

Meet us at the Cross Keys before hand and we can sort out shuttle runs to the country park/start.
