Silvesterlauf TuS WasserStrasse Petershagen 2026

The Silvesterlauf TuS Wasserstraße Petershagen is a New Year’s Eve running and walking event based at the TuS Wasserstraße sport home in Petershagen-Wasserstraße. Adults can choose a 4.6 km run, a 10 km run, or a 4.6 km walk, with the starts packed into a few minutes in the early afternoon. There is also a roughly 1 km children’s race, run as one lap around the area of the former Wasserstraße elementary school. Entry is deliberately simple: registration and bib pickup are handled on race day, children run free, and the adult fee includes sparkling wine and a certificate. The marked main courses use paved forest paths through the Loccum Monastery Forest, with kilometer markers and some slightly sandy sections underfoot. The race goes ahead in any weather, which fits its end-of-year, local-club feel. The children’s race gets extra attention: every child receives a voucher after finishing, and each one gets a handwritten certificate at the awards ceremony. Recent editions have drawn more than 400 advance registrations, so this is not just a small club outing, but a busy regional Silvesterlauf with runners, walkers, families, and children all sharing the same afternoon.
