Silvesterlauf Rund um die Steinbachtalsperre 2026

Silvesterlauf Rund um die Steinbachtalsperre is a New Year’s Eve running event held at the Steinbachtalsperre near Euskirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Participants begin from the reservoir parking lot on Talsperrenstrasse. Children’s races commence in the early afternoon, followed by the 3.5 km Jedermannlauf, and the 10.5 km main race starts later. LC Euskirchen e.V. is the organizer, and the event typically attracts between 501 and 1,000 participants. The event’s name reflects its typical course: a year-end run around the Steinbachtalsperre. However, flood damage has occasionally required the organizer to implement an alternative route. The event accommodates families, casual runners, club athletes, and older age-group competitors on the same afternoon. The race has also been part of the Eifelcup, contributing a regional series element to this local end-of-year running tradition.
