Shaun McManus to run in the Red Bull Wings for Life World Run The Red Bull Wings for Life World Run will see up to 40 races contested simultaneously on five continents. NOVA Breakfast host Shaun McManus has done his fair share of running but nothing compared to what he'll tackle next May. The former Fremantle Dockers captain will join ex-Formula One driver David Coulthard, racing legend Eddie Jordan and several other sporting heroes as global event ambassadors for the Wings for Life World Run, supported by Red Bull. The race will be one of the biggest and most unique running events ever staged, with up to 40 races contested simultaneously on five continents. McManus ran to Margaret River last week as part of a NOVA campaign, but it seems he only got as far as the Margaret River Chocolate factory. There will be no such luxuries on May 4 next year, when he joins thousands of runners around the world who will start at precisely the same time and run along routes in up to 40 different locations in varying light and weather conditions. McManus will set off from Busselton at 6pm while runners in California will start at 3am, London 11am and Germany at noon. There has never been a race like it, with no traditional static finish line. Rather, competitors will run in front of an advancing "catcher car" ... with every car governed by the single, global race schedule. Half an hour after the runners start, the catcher car at every race will begin behind them at a set speed. Once a catcher car overtakes a runner, their race is over. This will continue until one male and one female athlete in the world are left running. They will be crowned Wings for Life World Run Champion - all in aid of finding a cure for spinal cord injury. This is all in aid of Wings for Life's mission: to find a cure for spinal cord injury as part of its Wings for Life foundation. Those wanting to take part in the event have until April 20 to register for one of the runs. Visit www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com for more details
