Running for those who can’t: Allwyn unites leading voices in sports and para sports to drive record participation in the world’s largest race
Global sporting stars have come together alongside Allwyn, a leading multi-national lottery operator, to shine a light on the role of sport in building a better world. Colin Jackson, former GB Olympian and world record holder; Marc Herremans, Belgian wheelchair Ironman triathlete; and Professor Nick Webborn CBE, Chair of the British Paralympic Association, have united alongside Allwyn to encourage people from around the world to take part in the 2024 Wings for Life World Run on 5 May, targeting a record one million participants in the world’s biggest simultaneous race.
Established in 2014, The Wings for Life World Run is a uniquely inclusive global event. All participants start at the same time, worldwide. There is no fixed finish line, instead the virtual Catcher Car begins its chase 30-minutes after the start and increases in speed, passing participants one by one until the last participant is caught. Once overtaken, you are a finisher. With hundreds of thousands running, rolling, or walking at the same time in the world’s largest simultaneous race.
100% of all entry fees and donations are given to scientific research and clinical studies worldwide to find a cure for spinal cord injuries. The Wings for Life World Run has raised €43m for Wings for Life, a non-profit foundation which provides funding for international scientific research on spinal cord injury.
The World Health Organisation estimates there are up to 500,000[1] new spinal cord injuries every year. Depending on the severity of the injury, that can lead to paralysis, sensory disturbance, and even breathing problems. These injuries typically occur as a result of an accident in daily life, which in an instant drastically changes a person’s life. The Wings for Life World Run unites people from around the world to help change the trajectory of these injuries by funding cutting-edge research projects.
Professor Nick Webborn CBE, in addition to acting as Chair of the British Paralympic Association is a researcher in Paralympic sports medicine and wheelchair tennis player, who himself suffered a spinal cord injury at a young age said: “As we approach the Paris 2024 Paralympics, it is a great time to demonstrate the importance of inclusivity in sports. Spinal cord injury can have a profound effect on an individual and those around them, and staying physically active is especially important for disabled people to maintain their health. The vision of the British Paralympic Association is ‘Through sport, a better world for disabled people’. The values of Allwyn and the Wings for Life World Run marry perfectly with this vision, and highlights what makes participating in this event so valuable. I am delighted to be able to support Wings for Life to help raise funds to find a cure for spinal cord injury through research.”
Allwyn’s three-year agreement as official global partner of the 2024 Wings for Life World Run sees it encouraging over 7,000 employees and others from Austria, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Greece & Cyprus, UK, and the United States to participate and raise funds. Allwyn’s partnership with Wings for Life World Run is just one of the contributions made as part of its commitment to give back to good causes.
Colin Jackson and Marc Herremans, as Sports Director and Wheelchair Sports Director for the Wings for Life World Run, visited Allwyn colleagues at their offices in Watford and Prague to explain the cause and impact of the event, and to encourage people to take part.
Marc Herremans commented: “I have experienced first-hand how a spinal cord injury can transform your life. With the support of Allwyn colleagues and global participants in this year’s race, we move one step closer to improving the quality of life of people with spinal cord injuries around the world.”
Colin Jackson added: “The Wings for Life World Run is truly an event like no other. Seeing the enthusiasm of people to join in, knowing they take part alongside thousands of others, is always inspiring. Allwyn’s mission to change lives for the better is what the race is all about, and their support makes our mission possible.”
Pavel Turek, Chief Global Brand, Corporate Communication and CSR Officer at Allwyn said: “Allwyn’s commitment to inclusivity and giving back to good causes makes our partnership with the Wings for Life World Run a perfect match. We are proud to be going into our second year as official global partner to this unique and inspiring event. With each person wheeling, running, or walking their own race together, however we take part, we all win.”

Boomerang Partners
Boomerang Partners announces the launch of the exclusive TIME TO WIN tournament for affiliates
Boomerang Partners has launched an exclusive affiliate tournament timed to coincide with a pivotal stretch of the 2026 global sports calendar. Running until 31 March, the activation operates under the TIME TO WIN concept — the strategic framework underpinning the company’s collaboration with its Official Regional Partner, AC Milan, throughout the Year of Sports.
The 2026 calendar features a concentration of major competitions, including the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. Positioned across February and March — one of the season’s most commercially active periods — the tournament is designed to help sports-focused affiliates capitalize on heightened engagement.
TIME TO WIN tournament prizes
Following a teaser campaign featuring AC Milan players Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alexis Saelemaekers, Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot and Rafael Leão, Boomerang Partners confirmed 12 February as the official launch date. The tournament is hosted on the AC Milan Hub, a digital platform created within the partnership between Boomerang Partners and the Club.
Participants can unlock prize draws by reaching specified point thresholds. Available rewards include match experiences and exclusive club-related trips, such as visits to Milanello Sports Center.
Prize categories include:
-
TIME TO WIN merchandise packs for teams
-
Official AC Milan jerseys signed by players
-
Match trip for AC Milan vs Cagliari
-
Match trip for AC Milan vs Juventus with pre-match access
-
Exclusive Milanello experience for affiliate teams
Affiliates earning at least 100 points will also receive bonus points toward the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026.
Participation mechanics
The competition runs from 12 February to 31 March 2026. During this period, affiliates complete tasks across designated segments, accumulate points and progressively unlock access to five prize draws. Activities include social media initiatives, surveys and collaborative promotional efforts coordinated through the AC Milan Hub.
The role of the AC Milan Hub
The AC Milan Hub serves as the central platform for all TIME TO WIN initiatives. Designed as an integrated digital ecosystem, it combines campaign tools, interactive mechanics and access to exclusive club-related experiences. While the tournament represents the flagship activation for Q1 2026, the Hub will host additional partnership initiatives throughout the year.
By embedding the competition within this platform, Boomerang Partners expands the value of participation beyond a standalone performance challenge, positioning affiliates within a broader brand collaboration framework.
Strategic support for affiliates
Participants also gain access to Boomerang Partners’ Sports Marketing & Betting Calendar 2026 — a practical planning resource that outlines tournament cycles, regional sports trends and campaign timing strategies. The guide provides structured insights into market behaviour, enabling affiliates to approach peak sporting periods with data-driven precision.
TIME TO WIN as a strategic framework
TIME TO WIN represents the overarching concept guiding Boomerang Partners’ 2026 partnership with AC Milan. More than a campaign theme, it reflects a shared emphasis on performance, ambition and long-term growth. The concept is designed to support multiple activations throughout the sports season, extending beyond traditional sponsorship formats.
Affiliates are encouraged to prepare campaigns in advance to maximize results during the tournament window.
About Boomerang Partners

The company launched the Golden Boomerang Awards in 2024, with more than 400 affiliate teams participating in its 2025 season.
