The Gmundner Silvesterlauf is a brief New Year's Eve road race held in Gmunden, Austria. It features a 4.8 km loop along the Traunsee waterfront, starting near Toscana Congress. This race is designed for participants seeking a concise year-end run, not an extended endurance challenge.
The course proceeds along the Esplanade, crosses Schloss-Orth-Allee, passes Schloss Ort, and makes a turnaround at the Linde. Runners then return along the same lakeside path to the finish. Participants receive food and a medal upon completion. Registration typically opens well ahead of time, often including a limited early-bird discount.
