About this race
Silvesterlauf Brandenburg-Wilhelmsdorf is an end-of-year running event held at Buhnenhaus 1 in Brandenburg an der Havel, organized by VfL Brandenburg. Participants can select from 500 m, 2.5 km, 5 km, or 10 km distances, with a 5 km walking option also available. The 500 m Bambini run is designated for the youngest children, the 2.5 km race is open to all, and the longer distances have age restrictions for older children and adults.
All courses are out-and-back, presenting a straightforward format. The event frequently features winter conditions, such as snow and ice, aligning with its role as a final run of the year for local participants. Children in the Bambini run receive medals, the top three overall finishers in the 2.5 km, 5 km, and 10 km races are recognized, and pancakes are served as part of the tradition.
