Other questions
Transfer and category-change policies are TBC, so contact the organiser directly before race day. Many road races allow a name transfer or category switch before a set deadline if capacity allows, often for an administration fee. Switching into the 7K elite race may require proof of a qualifying performance, while relay changes may need updated team details. Always confirm in writing with the organiser rather than relying on race-day changes.
Deferral and refund rules are TBC, so review the terms when entries open. Because the event is fixed to New Year's Eve, postponement is not possible, and many races offer only a transfer to another runner or a partial credit rather than a refund. If you know early that you cannot attend, contact the organiser as soon as possible to ask about the official options. Do not pass your bib to someone else without permission, as this can create safety and insurance issues.
Race day in Peuerbach will follow the typical format for a winter road event: check-in or bib collection before the start, warm-up areas, and separate starts for the 7K Volkslauf, 7K Staffellauf relay, and 7K Lauf der Asse elite race. Exact timings are TBC, so check the official race information before travelling. Arrive early to allow time for bib pickup, toilet queues, warm-up, and any relay team coordination. The atmosphere is likely festive given the 31 December date, but keep your own schedule so you do not miss your start.
Accommodation in Peuerbach itself may be limited, so look early in nearby towns such as Grieskirchen, Bad Schallerbach, Wels, or Linz. New Year's Eve is a popular travel date in Austria, so book as soon as your entry is confirmed. If you are travelling by car, staying slightly outside Peuerbach can be easier for parking and may offer more availability. Check whether your hotel or guesthouse offers late check-in or early breakfast if you need to leave for the race.
As a organised road race in Austria, the Silvesterlauf Peuerbach should have marshals, course marking, and some level of medical support, but exact provisions are TBC. Listen to the pre-race safety briefing and note where first-aid points are located. If you have a medical condition, consider writing it on the back of your bib or carrying ID and a phone. In an emergency, alert the nearest marshal and call the local emergency number, 112, if needed.
