Wings For Life Run Möhnesee

The Wings for Life World Run at Möhnesee is a global running event where all participants start simultaneously worldwide. Regardless of individual performance levels – whether elite athletes, hobby runners, or beginners – the focus is not on reaching a finish line. Instead, 30 minutes after the start, a Catcher Car begins to gradually catch up with the runners and wheelchair participants, thereby ending the race for those who are overtaken. It is particularly noteworthy that all entry fees and donations go entirely to spinal cord research, with the aim of finding a cure for paralysis. The Möhnesee, with its picturesque backdrop, provides an ideal setting for this event. The event attracts numerous participants each year who not only want to test their athletic limits but also wish to contribute to a significant charitable cause. The combination of athletic challenge and social engagement makes the Wings for Life World Run at Möhnesee an outstanding event in the running calendar.
