The Stuttgarter Silvesterlauf is a New Year’s Eve road race in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf, with start and finish at the Lindenbachhalle. It is built around three distances: a 2.3 km schoolchildren’s run, a 5.5 km Hörnleshasenlauf, and an 11 km main race. The children’s race and the 5.5 km race use one lap, while the main race uses two laps. Starts are staggered from early afternoon, and all runners need to finish before the common finish-line cutoff. The course runs around the Fasanengarten, so the event stays compact and local rather than spreading across the whole city. Younger runners have their own Schülerlauf, while the two longer races are open to older children, teenagers, and adults. Bib pickup, late registration, food, drinks, and the awards all center on the Lindenbachhalle, which makes the day easy to follow for families and spectators. A Silvesterlauf T-shirt is available with advance registration and, if any are left, on race day.

The Sigmaringen New Year's Eve race takes place in Sigmaringen, Baden-Württemberg, featuring a 10 km run, a 5 km run, and short children’s races. Sig Run Laufbewerbe organizes the event, with the program beginning with the youngest runners, followed by the 5 km Sparkassenlauf and the 10 km race later. The children’s races include a 300 m Bambini run and a 1.4 km kids’ run, with age categories for younger school groups. The 5 km race has a participant limit, age-group rankings adhere to German athletics rules, and registration must be completed online as on-site entry is unavailable. Start numbers are available for pickup until 30 minutes before each race, simplifying the day for families and adults attending at different times.
