Silvesterlauf Kühlungsborn (SILVESTER Run) 2026

The Silvesterlauf Kühlungsborn is a year-end running event in the Baltic Sea resort of Kühlungsborn, northern Germany. Participants can select a 5 km or 10 km race, and a 500-meter Kids Run is available, with children participating without charge. It is a flat, fast street run, offering a more relaxed atmosphere than a typical road race, as the event is designed for families, recreational runners, hobby athletes, and performance runners to share the same program. The route incorporates Kühlungsborn’s coastal environment, featuring sections along the Baltic Sea and the town’s extensive beach promenade, where participants might run towards the sunset. Certain parts of the course may lead runners directly onto sand, and the race vicinity also covers the town’s 30-hectare city forest. The event is managed by Dein Ostseeweg GmbH, with registration managed via the organizer’s website. Published start lists, results, photos, and race reports provide the standard structure of a community race, complete with timing and post-event coverage.
