Silvesterlauf Krefeld 2026

Silvesterlauf Krefeld is a New Year's Eve running race held in Krefeld, Germany. It is part of the German tradition of “Silvesterlauf” races, where runners conclude the calendar year with a local road run instead of waiting for a spring or autumn race season. The race is organized by DJK-VfL Forstwald, a Krefeld sports club, and is listed as Forstwalder Silvesterlauf in results. By its 49th edition, it had been established for approximately half a century, indicating it is a long-running club event connected to the last day of the year, not merely a holiday fun run.
