The not-for-profit foundation Wings for Life was established by the two-time motocross world champion Heinz Kinigadner and the Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz in 2004.

Worldwide, millions of people depend on a wheelchair after sustaining a spinal cord injury, most often as the result of a traffic accident (50%) or fall (25%).

The question is not whether effective treatments and cures will be found, but when, and everyone who takes part in the Wings for Life World Run is helping to achieve that goal.

The first Wings for Life World Run started on May 4, 2014 to raise funds and at the same time rise attention on limitations and medical problems of paraplegia.

That means that runners in Europe or Africa run around noon while participants in Asia and Australia in the afternoon or evening.

The last woman and man remaining worldwide are crowned the Wings for Life World Run Global Champions.
