For anyone who has ever wanted to be part of something truly global, this is the opportunity not to be missed. Registration is officially open for the eleventh edition of the largest and most inclusive running event in the world: the Wings for Life World Run.
On Sunday 5 May 2024, runners of all ages and levels will feel they are part of something unique, participating simultaneously in every part of the globe. And although everyone sets their own pace and goals, everyone is contributing to the same cause: finding a cure for spinal cord injuries, as 100% of entry fees and donations are donated to this purpose.
“I’m so happy that registration for 2024 is open! In the previous edition of the Wings for Life World Run we had a record number of participants, and our goal is to see even more people at the starting line on May 5th,” says British 110m hurdles legend Colin Jackson, who is the event’s international sporting director. “We are thrilled that this is the largest running event in the world, and we are extremely proud of our participants, because each new registration brings real hope to all those affected by spinal cord injuries.” For Italy, an exceptional ambassador, Michel Roccati: born in 1991 in Turin, he lost the use of his lower limbs in 2017 following an accident. In 2020 he became one of the first three people in the world to have regained leg mobility, returning to walking thanks to an experimental project developed in Lausanne and also financed thanks to the funds raised by the Wings for Life World Run (in which he participated last year in the Swiss stage).
At his side is Lisa Migliorini, also known as @TheFashionJogger. In the previous edition, the runner and fitness influencer with over 2 million followers ran together with the other participants in the App Run Event held at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza and lent her voice to motivate and encourage the competitors during the race via the app.
