Wings for Life: Run to Battle Spinal Cord Injury
- This event has passed.
Global Charity Run – Wings for Life World Run returns to Malaysia. Hit the road simultaneously with tens of thousands of runners worldwide this month to raise awareness and fund the search for a cure for spinal cord injury, with the Wings for Life World Run App. The 2017 edition of the App offers participants more options than ever, sharing the experience right down to a Virtual Catcher Car – a moving finish line, and your name on the Global Result List.
Here’s how it works
Download the Wings for Life World Run App, use it to train toward your personal goals, and run with us on an Organised App Run at 7pm on Sunday 7 May. It will be held at the track located in University of Malaya, the oldest university in Malaysia. The pre-determined track is a combination of walking paths and access roads that connect the faculties. Our track will be 6.6km on a gravel road, suitable for participants of all levels.
The Virtual Catcher Car will give you a head start and then begin pursuit at the same slow pace as the real Catcher Cars at event locations around the world. When you’re caught, you’ve reached your personal finish line. The App will show you the distance you achieved and make it easy to share your accomplishment. Refreshment stations will also be set up along the track to ensure a great experience.
The Wings for Life World Run
The Wings for Life World Run is an international not-for-profit foundation with one mission only – to help scientists find a cure for spinal cord injury. The App Run in Kuala Lumpur is free of charge. However, donations can be through the website. Alternatively, you can support the cause by purchasing Wings for Life merchandise onsite at RM 25.00 per piece. 100% of entry fees, donations, and collection go directly to the nonprofit Wings for Life Foundation, for life-changing spinal cord research projects worldwide.
