Yes, the Aachener Sylvesterlauf used to be called Sylvesterlauf until 2022, it's not a typo. In 2022, they changed the course and the name, and now it's Silvesterlauf.

Development

This comes straight from my Garmin data for running which I am tracking since 2017. In the three charts you see the minimum, median and the maximum as well as the p05 and p95 percentiles. I created buckets for the distances in a range of 5% below and 20% over the goal distance.

On bikes

I don't see myself participating in bike races anytime soon, but I did do some pretty cool challenges in the last couple of years, such as doing the Stoneman Arduenna on a Gravel bike in one day, racing the Vätternrundan and becoming a true Flandrien.

Apart from collecting the "Gran Fondo"-Badge every month since 2018 on Strava, I did the Rapha Festive500 challenge 5 years in a row:

Early September 2023 I managed to reach a 42x42 explore square, and I'm quite happy about it. More will be quite complicated, with the open-brown-coal mine in the east and some nature reserves in the south.
