Start: Stadtplatz; Finish: Minoritenplatz, 4600 Wels
The Welser Sparkasse Silvesterlauf is presented as an ALOHA SPORT event and is staged as a festive New Year’s Eve running celebration in Wels. The flagship race is a fast 5 km city course run as three laps through the Welser Innenstadt, with the start on Stadtplatz and the finish at Minoritenplatz; finishers receive a medal and are welcomed at the finish with champagne, cake and other refreshments. The event combines competitive prize-paying podium places for top finishers with a convivial, party-like atmosphere to close the year.
The meeting also includes a range of youth races (U6 to U18), a designated Nordic‑walking route and separate walk entries, making the day family friendly and accessible to non-elite participants. Bib pickup and late registration (Nachnennung) are handled on 30 December (15:00–18:00) and on 31 December (11:00–13:30) at Minoriten Wels, and competitors are directed to the event website for current entry fees, insurance options and athlete information. The event is organised under the Welser Sparkasse branding with ALOHA SPORT as the event producer and a number of local partners and sponsors supporting the race.
