The Neujahrsmarathon Zürich (New Year's Marathon Zurich) is a marathon race founded in 2005 that is held annually on January 1. The start takes place at midnight, exactly at the beginning of the New Year. The start and finish are located in Schlieren near Zurich in Switzerland. The track consists of four laps along the river Limmat. Besides the marathon, there are also a half marathon (two laps), a quarter marathon (one 11K lap) as well as a marathon relay. The start of the marathon and the finish area of all races are located inside a sports hall. The participants run through the sports hall after each lap. The race is subject to a time limit of 5 hours, which may be extended in case of bad conditions (snow, ice).
