San Silvestre Vallecana in Madrid 🎊🏃♂️➡️
🏁To celebrate December 31st, countries and cities all have their own traditions. In Madrid, since 1964, a 10km race is organized every year. In reality, two races take place, one elite and the other popular
🎖️The elite race is reserved for professional athletes. To be accepted into this race, one must be able to cover 10 km in less than 39 minutes for men and less than 45 minutes for women. In 2023, it was Ethiopian Berihu Aregawi who won it in 27 minutes and 16 seconds.
🏃♀️Alternatively, if you are not elite athletes, the popular race is open to everyone. It is facilitated by the fact that the course is 8km downhill. It brought together 42,000 runners in 2023. It's more festive than competitive because prizes are also awarded for the best costumes.
👶🏼Another race is organized for children, but this one takes place on December 23rd.
