SA joins world in record breaking Wings for Life Run
The Star
|May 07, 2025
SOUTH African runners stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the world on Sunday, May 4, as they took part in the Wings for Life World Run 2025, a unique global race with one goal: to run for those who can't.
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.
