The New Year’s Eve Run

The New Year’s Eve Run in Munich has been taking place annually in 1984, and is one of the most popular fun races in all of Bavaria. The routes each take a circuit through the Olympic Park, starting and finishing by the guest of honour area at the Olympic Stadium.

To accommodate different types of runners, there will be four routes for the runners to choose from:

• Children’s run - 0,5 kilometres
• Schoolchildren's run - 2 kilometres
• Fun run - 5 kilometres
• Folk & Street run - 10 kilometres
