About this race
Silvesterlauf Schwaibach is a New Year's Eve road race held in Schwaibach, located in the Kinzigtal valley of the Black Forest. Organized by SSV Schwaibach around the local sports field and hall, the event typically sees several hundred participants; one recent edition recorded 411 starters. The day often has a wintry feel, but the race offers participants a straightforward decision: conclude the sporting year at a relaxed pace or compete intensely one final time before midnight.
The course is noted for being very fast, a factor that attracts strong regional competitors. Athletes from Roadrunners Südbaden frequently lead the pack, with club runners and casual participants making up the remainder. Natalie Wangler stands out in the event's recent past, having achieved ten consecutive wins.
