About the Neujahrsmarathon Zürich
The Neujahrsmarathon Zürich is billed as the world's first marathon of each year, starting at exactly midnight on New Year's Eve. Runners set off under fireworks from the Sporthalle Unterrohr in Schlieren and follow a 10.55 km loop along the banks of the Limmat towards Zürich, passing back through the sports hall on each lap. The AIMS-certified course gives runners the chance to set the first world-leading time of the year in their category. A half marathon, quarter marathon, relay and kids' run make it a festive New Year event for the whole family.
