SA joins world in record breaking Wings for Life Run

From Green Point in Cape Town to Irene in Centurion and Hobie Beach in Gqeberha, participants across the country ran not for a finish line, but to help find a cure for spinal cord injuries.

This year’s event once again reinforced its place as the largest global charity run, with 310 719 runners across 170 countries. South Africans were proud to be part of this extraordinary movement, joining the rest of the world in real-time through the Wings for Life World Run App and official local App Runs.

Each South African venue offered a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere with routes designed for runners, walkers, and wheelchair users alike.
