39. Silvesterlauf 2026

The 39th Silvesterlauf is a New Year's Eve running event around the Teichwiesen in Hamburg-Volksdorf. It begins at Halenreie, across from the weekly market, and follows a 2.6 km loop on park paths. All participants start together, then select a short or long run by completing one, two, three, or four laps. LAV Nord is the organizer, in conjunction with Walddörfer SV, Meiendorfer SV, Farmsener TV, and tus Berne. This is a low-key club race, not a results-focused competition. There are no official results lists, and runners can download or print their own certificate post-run. Spikes are prohibited, aligning with the park-path course. The entry fee covers a start card, certificate access, a Berliner pastry, and a hot drink. Prizes are awarded for the most original costumes. Volksdorf station (U1, Metrobus 24, Bus 174) is nearby. Drivers should use the U-Bahn parking garage, as the market square is occupied by the early weekly market.
