The BO Classic is a 10 km road race held in Bolzano on 31 December, starting at 12:50 from Piazza Walther in the historic centre. Runners cover the streets of the city on the last day of the year, and the midday start brings the finish before the evening's New Year's Eve celebrations get going. The event is staged by Läufer Club Bozen Raiffeisen, with entries handled online. Bolzano sits in the Dolomites at the confluence of three valleys, so late December racing here is a winter affair.

Other questions
Yes. Because it is a road race through the city centre, spectators can follow the runners along the central streets. The best spots are around Piazza Walther and the adjoining streets.
Late December in Bolzano is proper winter and temperatures can sit around or below freezing. Layered clothing, gloves and a hat are sensible, with layers you can shed after the warm-up.
No specific weather policy is published. If snow or ice makes the asphalt unsafe, decisions on the route rest with the organiser, who communicates any changes through official channels.
Yes. With a 12:50 start and a 10 km course the race is over in the early afternoon, so a same-day trip works. Bear in mind that Bolzano fills up for New Year's Eve celebrations later in the day.
