The Cologne Nikolauslauf is a running event held before Christmas in Germany, centered on St Nicholas Day. Organizers jokingly advise participants to clean their shoes, as Nikolaus is said to be watching. This event is designed for mass participation, not just club members; a recent edition saw over 4,750 runners, and the upcoming event will be the 29th. The schedule features a Toprun, Kidsrun, and Funrun, catering to competitive runners, children, and those seeking a relaxed, festive run. While a detailed route is not provided, the event's character is evident: it incorporates Santa Claus imagery, a sporty Advent atmosphere, enthusiastic local runners, and a crowd size that establishes the Nikolauslauf as a genuine Cologne running tradition.

The Zwickauer Adventslauf is a December road race in Zwickau, Germany, centered around the Schwanenteich area near Planitzer Strasse. Established in 2001, it is part of the Westsachsen-Laufcup series. Participants can choose between 10 km and 5 km races, while shorter 1.7 km, 0.9 km, and 0.4 km events are available for children and younger runners. The race route follows a loop on park paths within the Schwanenteich grounds, giving it the character of a local end-of-year park run rather than a large urban race. SV Vorwärts Zwickau organizes the event, typically drawing a few hundred participants, with previous years seeing over 600 finishers. Its timing in the Advent season lends a local holiday atmosphere; following the race, the club offers participants good wishes for a peaceful year's end and a strong start to the new year.

The Tannaer Silvesterlauf is a New Year's Eve running event held in Tanna, a small town in Thuringia, Germany. All races commence and conclude at the Turnhalle on Bahnhofstraße, establishing a compact, local atmosphere instead of a point-to-point course. The schedule typically features a 10 km run, a 3.3 km race, shorter 1.2 km and 0.6 km races for children and youth, and a 10 km Nordic walking option. Starts are usually scheduled for the morning, around 09:30 or 10:15. The course is noted as flat, meaning the primary difficulty lies in participating on December 31 rather than overcoming gradients. Approximately 400 individuals have competed across the various distances in previous years, with adults, youth runners, walkers, club athletes, and local families participating together. SSV Grun-Weiss Tanna e.V. is the organizing body, and the event's sustained operation relies on local volunteers, the city of Tanna, and the volunteer fire department. Results, start lists, and photographs are generally made available online post-event.

Silvesterlauf Erzgebirge Aue is a winter cross-country run held at the Filzteich, located near Schneeberg and Aue in Saxony’s Ore Mountains. It functions as a public New Year’s Eve sports race, organized by the ski department of FC Erzgebirge Aue. The race venue is situated within the World Heritage mining landscape of Schneeberg-Filzteich, marking it as a local winter run set against mining-country scenery, distinct from a city road race. The start and finish lines are positioned at the upper parking lot adjacent to the Filzteich outdoor pool. Participants can select from three course options: a 2.6 km circuit around the Filzteich, a 4.6 km smaller loop of the Filzteich area, or a 6.9 km larger loop of the Filzteich. This event, established by MSV Aue-Eichert, is one of Saxony’s oldest public sports races. Winter conditions are integral to the event; organizers have previously acknowledged participants for competing in challenging winter weather, and throughout its extensive history, the race has never been canceled due to weather.
