The one-hour format gives runners a full 60 minutes on the course, covering as much ground as they can before the hour is up. It suits anyone who wants to close the year with a run rather than a fixed-distance race.

The event is scheduled for Thursday 31 December 2026 in Bergisch Gladbach, Nordrhein-Westfalen. As with all Silvesterläufe, it runs on the last day of the calendar year, so arriving in the morning or early afternoon is advisable depending on the published start time.
A 1-Stundenlauf is a one-hour run. Everyone starts together and runs for 60 minutes, and the distance each runner covers in that time is what counts. It is a relaxed format that suits both faster and slower runners because there is no fixed finish line distance to reach.
The race name refers to the Dünnwalder Bösch, the wooded embankment landscape in the north of Cologne that the course passes through. The precise route, start point and finish point are set by the organiser and are published on their website ahead of the event.
No closing date is shown on this listing. Late December races often fill up or close entries shortly before the event, so check the organiser's website and enter early if you want to be sure of a place.
That depends on the organiser and on whether the field is full. No entry-on-the-day information is published here, so confirm the arrangements on the official event website before travelling.
