Běh 17. listopadu Kadaň is a public-holiday running event in Kadaň, a royal town in northwestern Czechia. It is held on the Day of Struggle for Freedom and Democracy and International Students' Day, with races starting at Rooseveltovy sady behind the sports hall. The format is simple and local: a series of short races rather than one mass start, organized by SKMP Kadaň. The schedule begins with the youngest children, including a 100 m run for preschoolers, then progresses through age groups over 280 m, 550 m, 1,300 m, and 1,800 m. The event is open to all ages, from the youngest runners to the oldest, presenting more as a town sports morning than an elite competition. Entry is inexpensive, preschoolers can enter free in advance, and Jiří Vlasák is the contact for practical questions.

Christmas Run Most is a Christmas-themed road race held in central Most, Czechia, starting at 1. namesti. The primary event is 5 km, with 1 km and 2 km distances also available, positioning it as a community city run rather than a specialized endurance competition. The route stays within the city center of Most, avoiding trails. The event is part of the NN Night Run series. A notable tradition is the red Santa hat, which runners are encouraged to wear and can purchase on race day. December in Most typically features cold, damp weather, with temperatures near 3°C and a chance of snow, meaning the festive attire is suitable for winter running conditions.

The Zwickauer Adventslauf is a December road race in Zwickau, Germany, centered around the Schwanenteich area near Planitzer Strasse. Established in 2001, it is part of the Westsachsen-Laufcup series. Participants can choose between 10 km and 5 km races, while shorter 1.7 km, 0.9 km, and 0.4 km events are available for children and younger runners. The race route follows a loop on park paths within the Schwanenteich grounds, giving it the character of a local end-of-year park run rather than a large urban race. SV Vorwärts Zwickau organizes the event, typically drawing a few hundred participants, with previous years seeing over 600 finishers. Its timing in the Advent season lends a local holiday atmosphere; following the race, the club offers participants good wishes for a peaceful year's end and a strong start to the new year.

Silvesterlauf Erzgebirge Aue is a winter cross-country run held at the Filzteich, located near Schneeberg and Aue in Saxony’s Ore Mountains. It functions as a public New Year’s Eve sports race, organized by the ski department of FC Erzgebirge Aue. The race venue is situated within the World Heritage mining landscape of Schneeberg-Filzteich, marking it as a local winter run set against mining-country scenery, distinct from a city road race. The start and finish lines are positioned at the upper parking lot adjacent to the Filzteich outdoor pool. Participants can select from three course options: a 2.6 km circuit around the Filzteich, a 4.6 km smaller loop of the Filzteich area, or a 6.9 km larger loop of the Filzteich. This event, established by MSV Aue-Eichert, is one of Saxony’s oldest public sports races. Winter conditions are integral to the event; organizers have previously acknowledged participants for competing in challenging winter weather, and throughout its extensive history, the race has never been canceled due to weather.
