success story of the Wing for Life World Runs

Since the start in 2014, the Wings for Life World Run has written an unprecedented success story and has collected over 51.9 million euros for spinal cord research. The run in 2024 set a new record with 265,818 participants from 192 nations. In Austria alone, 60,900 people started. Together they covered an overall route that corresponds to around 50 earth circuits, and collected over 8 million euros for the non -profit Foundation Wings for Life.

Anita Gerhardter, CEO of the foundation, commented on the collected funds: "The funds collected in the 2024 edition flow into pioneering research projects and clinical studies worldwide. Every participation makes a real difference!" The enthusiasm among the runners and the support of celebrities are an essential part of the success of this event.

On May 4, 2025, the world meditates while running: not only does it count how fast someone is, but that you become active for a valuable thing. Each runner has time until the start of the catcher car, a mobile finish line, to achieve their own personal best and to be part of this unique movement. There are also numerous local app Run Events that are organized for those who prefer to jog in a group or in a certain place

The supporters of the Wings for Life World Run include well -known faces from the sports world, including Marcel Hirscher and Lindsey Vonn, as well as numerous other athletes who publicly call up this important initiative. The latest addition to the ambassadors is the pole vault olympic champion Mondo Duplantis, who has guaranteed his support and encourages people worldwide to participate and promote the good cause.

"It is an incredible feeling to be a global ambassador of the Wings for Life World Runs. For those who cannot - that's something very special. I can't wait until it starts in May," said Duplantis enthusiastically.
