RUNNING GERMANY: BERLIN – Jelly Donuts or Rolled Pickled Herring? Berlin New Years Eve Run 2013 and New Years Day Run 2014
At the 38th Berlin New Years Eve Run on Tuesday, December 31, 2013, the organizer is expecting Berlins running community to again join in the traditional end-of-the-year fun run.
There will be 4 different courses, ranging from a 2 km, 4 km, 6.6 km, to a ca. 10.3 km race over the Teufelsberg Mountain.
At the finish every participant will receive a jelly donut (and if they are unlucky, one filled with mustard!) and a certificate. The victors will receive a giant jelly donut… and the last ones across the finish line get rolled pickled herring!
At 12:30, shortly before the races start, there will be a parade of the costumed runners and awards for the best ones.
Starting times:
13:00 noon
So far, 1,000 registrations have been received. And there will be traditional mulled wine to warm up with afterwards.
Registration is possible on December 31, 2013 starting at 12 a.m. in the gymnasium of the Mommsen Stadium in Waldschulallee 34, 14055 Berlin.

This race has taken place every year since 1972. The first one was organised by Heinz-Florian Oertel in Friedrichshain (former Berlin-East).
On January 1, 1990, this was the first race (before reunification of West and East Germany) to go through the newly opened Brandenburg Gate from West to East—and back organized by the Berlin-Marathon.
