About this race
The Silvesterlauf Flörsheim-Weilbach is a New Year's Eve road race held in Flörsheim-Weilbach, Hessen. It starts from the square behind the Jahnturnhalle at Raunheimer Str. 33. The primary event is a 12.5 km run, complemented by a 1.25 km children's and fun run, and an 8.7 km route for walkers and Nordic walkers. TG 1886 Weilbach Laufbewerbe organizes the event, with registration available via the club's website.
This event is a local, popular-sport gathering, not a large urban race, typically attracting between 300 and 500 participants, with previous finisher counts around the low 300s. Electronic timing is employed for the main race, maintaining a sense of proper timed competition. The shorter and walking options ensure the morning is accessible for families and individuals seeking a relaxed year-end activity. The Silvesterlauf structure provides a distinct cadence: run, walk, or bring children on the final day of the year before evening festivities commence.
