Wings for Life World Run returns to Jordan for its 2nd edition

On May 4, 2025, the “world’s greatest race" will take place once again in Jordan. A total of 265,818 participants from across 195 countries took part in last year’s Wings for Life World Run, a number far greater than that of any other running event; the 2025 run is slated to be even bigger and better. Here is everything you need to know about the 2025 Wings for Life World Run and how you can be part of it:

Download the app to sign up

You can register on the latest Wings for Life World Run App on Apple and Google Play Store. It will be possible to run individually, wherever you are, or to join one of the many organized App Runs at the King Hussein Business Park in Amman. The special feature of the app—compared to ordinary running or fitness apps—is the audio experience, which offers an exciting listening experience that informs, motivates, and entertains participants during the run.

Global charity run for spinal cord research

Those who participate in the Wings for Life World Run are supporting a good cause: 100% of all entry fees and donations go to spinal cord research and help find a cure for spinal cord injury.

Unique run format: Catcher Car as a moving finish line

At the Wings for Life World Run, all runners and wheelchair users start at exactly the same time—2 PM, Amman Time—and run or roll as long as they can. There is no finish line; instead, 30 minutes after the start signal, specially designed Catcher Cars start moving and overtake participants one by one, either in real or virtual terms. For those caught by the Catcher Car, the race is over.
