Hi Hestia,
I think it's maybe the Zürich Silvesterlauf you're looking for?
http://www.silvesterlauf.ch/
I did it last year with a couple of other EFers, was lots of fun - loads of support cheering us on, albeit very crowded actually in the race itself. Different distances ranging up to 8.6km, and also different time categories too.
cheers
