Silvesterlauf Linz 2026

Silvesterlauf Linz is a New Year's Eve running event in Linz, Upper Austria, starting on Hauptplatz at 15:00. TriRun Linz organizes it, and the race has been held in the city since 2000. The main road race is 6 kilometers, with shorter options including a children's and school run, plus Nordic walking. The 3-kilometer loop starts from Hauptplatz and goes through the city center, using Landstraße, Volksgartenstraße, Herrenstraße, and Hofgasse before passing through the old town. Runners see central Linz landmarks such as the Landhaus, Alter Markt, and Volksgarten. The route stays within the historic and shopping streets. The format makes it a compact end-of-year city run, with families, walkers, children, and regular road runners all participating in the same afternoon program.
