Entries are now open for the South African edition of the third Wings For Life World Run
Be counted amongst those who are helping in funding the fight for spinal cord injury cure.
South African personalities, Hlubi Mboya,Catherine Grenfell and Gugu Zulu are some of the people that have run for this cause and will run again.
Zulu a rally champion and Wings for Life World Run Ambassador is excited to be taking part again in 2016:
“This race is an electric experience - there’s no other way to describe the tension knowing that the catcher car is getting closer and closer. Then there is the atmosphere back at the start, watching the race stream from around the world while knowing that all of us were part of a global effort for such an important cause.”
“This year my family and friends will join me in Centurion and I hope to see the best turnout South Africa has had to date. There’s only one African leg of the event, let’s make it huge.”
The Wings For Life World Run takes place in 34 international locations, simultaneously. This means that South Africans will both start and race with thousands of participants from around the world, all running in varying light and weather conditions for one cause – finding a cure for spinal cord injury.
The race is open or all South Africans young and old, racers, runners and walkers, the able-bodied and those in wheelchairs.
It will be held at SuperSport Park in Centurion on the 8th of May.
One hundred percent of all entry fees globally go to the Wings For Life Foundation, which funds numerous research projects determined to improve treatment for spinal cord injuries and ultimately, find a cure.
There is no finish line. Instead, a catcher car chases down participants, ending their race once the car overtakes them. This allows each person to set their own goal for the event. Some will run as little as 5km, others will aim for the World Champion crown.
