The Red Bull Illume team has been proud to support Wings for Life with a percentage of proceeds from our Top 250 hardcover photobook. We were even prouder to participate in the 2014 Wings For Life World Run where 40.000 runners of all levels all ran together at exactly the same time at 34 locations on six continents…
The 2015 Wings For Life World Run will be on May 3, 11am UTC with new locations and entirely new countries. Registration is now open to everyone on the websiteand 100% of the proceeds go to Wings for Life – which funds spinal cord research projects all over the world. Millions of people around the world are living with a spinal cord injury. Every year, at least 250,000 more sustain a traumatic spinal cord injury, following traffic accidents, tragic falls and slips.
This is a cause the action sports and adventure photography community can identify with, so we ask all photographers, athletes and members of our community to join us in signing up!
The Wings For Life World Run has a super cool format: thirty minutes after the athletes start, the catcher car will begin to follow them. Driving slowly first but increasing its speed at given periods in time, the catcher car is the moving finish line. Equipped with electronic sensors, the catcher car will pass the athletes, registering their digital chips on its way to the leaders. The last athlete to be caught worldwide will be the global champion! Join us and lets run together!
