Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s San Silvestre Vallecana race will be going virtual.
-
Thanks to the special app designed for the occasion, participants can run the race from anywhere in the world between 26 and 31 December.
-
Athletes signed up for the race will also have access to other exclusive content, such as training sessions, challenges and interviews with top athletes.

The 40 000 numbers for the Nationale-Nederlanden San Silvestre Vallecana Experience went on sale on 1 October. Registration costs 16€ and includes the official t-shirt.
Every year, since 1964, on 31 December Madrid has been playing host to the largest athletics event in Spain. One of the only four 10K races in the world to boast the IAAF Gold Race Running Label, the festive race even comes with fake snow.
The event has two parts, the fun run (which anyone over 16 can take part in) and a professional race, and is regarded as a fairly easy event since 8 out of the 10 kilometres are slightly downhill.
Although the fun run officially kicks off at 5.30pm from Calle Concha Espina it will have a wave start, meaning runners will be starting at different intervals (check times). The professional race will commence at 8pm and it will feature top international athletes.
On 22 December the Paseo del Prado will hold the San Silvestre Mini for kids under 15. The professional race will finish in the Vallecas Stadium and the fun run nearby the football stadium. p>
