Int. Forchheimer Silvesterlauf

The Int. Forchheimer Silvesterlauf in Rheinstetten is a traditional New Year’s Eve race with a history spanning more than 30 years. The main race follows a 10 km loop through the Rheinauenwald, starting at Karlsruher Straße and Kastenwoertstraße, with the finish at the clubhouse of Sportfreunde Forchheim. Alongside the 10 km race, there is also a 5 km course, which is suitable for walkers and Nordic walkers. Timing is electronic, using a chip in the race bib, and the event relies on the voluntary commitment of many helpers. The award ceremony is brief, and certificates can be collected directly at the results tent to speed things up.
