The morning of January 1, 2026, greeted Berlin with crisp, cold air and a sky that shifted here and there from gray to a hopeful blue. The city was still echoing with the afterglow of New Year’s Eve, yet around the Brandenburg Gate life was already pulsing. Footsteps on asphalt, steaming breaths, quiet laughter—the Berlin New Year’s Run was about to begin.

Kick-off for SCC EVENTS in 2025. The 52nd edition of the Berlin New Year's Run once again provided special moments for participants from many nations. Regardless of whether they were still celebrating shortly before the start or had been actively running in the Berlin New Year's Eve Run the day before, the 4,300 participants on New Year's Day had one thing in common: cool asphalt instead of a warm bed was their first choice.

The Berlin New Year's Run is a source of historic running events. Sports historians truly enjoy the history of this event organised by SCC EVENTS. You can find out more about what the run at the Brandenburg Gate has witnessed over the years in the article History à la Berlin. In general, it is worth spending some time on the Berlin New Year's Run website. It has had a new look for a few days now and is full of details about the event.
