The Neujahrsmarathon Zurich is the worldwide first held marathon every year, taking place on New Year's Eve in Zurich. Runners start exactly at midnight, running along the waterfront of the river Limmat for a 10.55km loop, passing firework volcanos and the sports hall Unterrohr in Schlieren. The event also includes a half marathon, a quarter marathon, a group race (relay), and a free kids run at 10 pm.

Why attend here

Ring in the new year with a marathon along the Limmat, where the frosty air and fireworks over Schlieren’s sports hall create a festive, electric atmosphere. After your 10.55km loops, warm up with a fondue in the old town or a mulled wine at a riverside booth, and soak in the city’s cozy, celebratory spirit.
