After the premiere of the Wings for Life World Run in 2014, this global event is running its third round this year. The Wings for Life World Run 2016 will take place on May 8, 2016, and the run will take place in 34 locations around the world, starting at 1 p.m. ET. All proceeds from the entry fee go to spinal cord research; the mission of the Wings for Life Foundation is to find a cure for its injuries.
Wings for Life World Run 2016 will be this year May 8, 2016 and will start in Ljubljana for the third year (on Congress Square, where sports products will also be exhibited, there will be physiotherapy, massages, large screens for monitoring live events, a changing room for competitors...). It is intended for everyone, both recreational and professional athletes, the elderly and children.

Running has no specific but moving target, as runners and competitors (including those in wheelchairs) compete shoulder to shoulder and try to stay as long as possible in front of the pursuit vehicle, who is chasing them (starts 30 minutes behind them). If you will not be able to come to Ljubljana, this is not an excuse not to run that day for a good cause, because you can run in front of a virtual "broom" with the application Wings for Life World Run Selfie Run.
