Görlitzer Silvesterlauf 2026

The Görlitzer Silvesterlauf is a road run held in late December in Görlitz, Saxony. It begins at 10:00 from Sportplatz Eiswiese on Fröbelstraße. LG Landeskrone Görlitz e.V. has organized this event since 1980. The primary distances are 4 km, 2 km, and 1 km, making it suitable for families, younger runners, walkers, and hikers rather than those seeking a long race. The field typically numbers in the low hundreds, with recent finisher counts between 180 and just over 200. There is no timing, contributing to the race's relaxed local atmosphere. The setup includes kilometer markers, changing rooms, showers, printed certificates, and refreshments at the finish. Children’s and youth races are part of the program, and the start-number lottery adds a small club-race tradition beyond simply running the route.
