Event Details

The race starts at 2:00 PM at the Khalifa International Stadium. Participants run on the stadium's 400-meter air-conditioned track, trying to stay ahead of the Catcher Car, which starts its pursuit 30 minutes later and gradually increases speed.

Wheelchair and Runner Participation

Both runners and wheelchair athletes will begin the race together, with wheelchair participants required to use everyday wheelchairs.

Refreshments and Support

A refreshment station will be available on-site, providing energy drinks, water, and bananas to help sustain participants during the race.

Contributions to Research

The registration fee of 128 USD (approximately 102 QAR) supports spinal cord research projects. Participants can download the Wings for Life World Run App to register and access timing information for the race.
