Silvesterlauf Neuss

Silvesterlauf Neuss is a New Year’s Eve running event held in Neuss, Germany. The start and finish are located on the Uedesheimer Rheindeich, adjacent to the Rhine River. The race commences at noon on December 31, positioning it as a daytime event preceding the evening’s fireworks and festivities. Established in 2012 from a spontaneous concept, its motto, “Ballern statt Böllern!”, translates to prioritizing a strenuous run over fireworks. The course details suggest a focused, local race centered on the Rhine dike, distinct from a large metropolitan course. Archived results and photographic records are maintained online, providing the event with a modest yet continuous history and enabling participants to compare their performances with previous years. The race also maintains a digital presence via its website, blog, media section, and connections to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Strava.
