44. Winser Silvesterlauf 2026

The Winser Silvesterlauf is a New Year's Eve running event in Winsen (Aller), organized by MTV "Fichte" Winsen (Aller). It begins in the afternoon from the Allertalsporthalle at Im Allertal 1, offering runners facilities for registration, changing, and showering before and after the race. The event caters to a broad local participation base, not just a select racing group, featuring 3,000 m, 5,000 m, and 10,300 m runs. Additionally, there is a 1,600 m children's course for participants up to age 9 and a 6,400 m walking route without competitive pressure. The start and finish are both located at the Allertalsporthalle, simplifying the day for families, runners, and walkers gathering at a single venue. It serves as a customary year-end event for many local runners, though one edition was canceled due to flooding. The atmosphere is intended to be informal, yet the organizers conduct an awards ceremony and present prizes, providing an incentive for faster runners while allowing others to use it as a final communal activity before the year concludes.
