The Wings for Life World Run is set to return on May 4, 2025, bringing together runners and wheelchair participants from across the globe for its 12th edition taking place in South Africa; Cape Town, and Centurion. This one-of-a-kind race has no traditional finish line; instead, participants are challenged to outrun a Virtual Catcher Car, which gradually increases its pace.

Inclusive by design, the event welcomes wheelchair participants using everyday wheelchairs, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate. With 100% of entry fees and donations going directly to spinal cord research, this is more than a race, it’s a chance to make a real difference in the lives of those impacted by spinal cord injuries.

Joining us on the line is Sandile Mkhize, Wings For life Ambassador
