About the race
The Bietigheimer Silvesterlauf is an annual road race in Bietigheim-Bissingen organized by LG Neckar-Enz with support from local clubs and the city. The course is approximately 10.35 km long and runs over two laps on mostly asphalt streets and paths through the historic old town and the Enz floodplains.
Entry is open to anyone who meets the minimum age requirement of 14 years. Registration is available exclusively online and the number of start places is limited; previous editions reached the event capacity. Start positions are assigned to blocks based on the runner’s current 10 km time and the block assignment is binding.
Both gross and net times are recorded. Timekeeping uses the MikaTag transponder attached to the back of the race bib; the transponder need not be returned and the bib may be kept as a memento. Team classifications are calculated by adding net times: a team consists of 10 runners across all classes, and there is a separate women’s team ranking based on five runners.
Safety measures prohibit baby joggers, walking poles, running animals and bicycle escorts. Start numbers must be worn on the front and must not be altered. The event includes prize money for top finishers and awards across multiple age categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
