    The ‘Why I Run’ podcast from Red Bull celebrates the extraordinary and the everyday stories of running. Over the next ten weeks, we’re meeting some incredible guests, where we’ll be asking them the question why they run and building our team for the 2022 Wings For Life World Run. We really hope you can join us!Runners of every skill level are welcome, from passionate regulars, to runners who struggle themselves to get out the door, and everyone in between. Meet your hosts: Erin Azar became a TikTok sensation when she documented her running journey. Though she doesn’t run to hit the fastest speeds or go the longest distances, her passionate love for running has brought a lot to her life. Ayo Akinwolere is a broadcaster and world record-breaking swimmer, who at one stage could do a half-marathon, but has since relaxed into a casual runner. Together, they’re going to meet a whole world of different kinds of runners to find out why they run. The ninth Wings For Life World Run – the run for those that can’t - takes places on May 8th 2022. Participants will be able to run individually or join one of the many organized App Runs in various countries around the world. 100% of all entry fees and donations go to spinal cord research and help find a cure for spinal cord injury.
