Wings for Life World Run is a free mobile app developed by Red Bull. It is a unique global running event that takes place simultaneously around the world. The app is designed to support the event and help participants run or roll, in a wheelchair, to find a cure for spinal cord injury. The event does not have a traditional finish line, instead, a Catcher Car pursues runners or rollers. The app features GPS tracking, a virtual Catcher Car, goal calculator, training mode, unique audio experience, sharing functions, and donation function. It is available in 13 languages.

The Wings for Life World Run App is the official app for the race on May 9, 2021, at 11:00 UTC. Participants can register directly via the app and take part. Once they finish the run, their name will be on the Global Result List. The app provides a unique audio experience and allows users to invite friends and share successes. It is important to note that leaving GPS running in the background will decrease battery life, so users should charge their phone before running.
