Don't miss this chance to take part in a unique event and welcome in the New Year in Madrid.

San Silvestre is a 10 km race through the centre of the Spanish capital Madrid and has taken place every New Year's Eve for almost half a century.

The route is primarily downhill with approximately half a kilometre uphill, delivering a fast route for the racers and a leisurely run for the casual runner. You will follow the famous 'Paseo de la Castellana" over bridges passing through the historical province of Madrid, with the finish at 'La Meta' located within the district of Vallecas.

Race participants can top 10,000, with a similar number of spectators lining the course creating the electrifying atmosphere of a marathon. The race is split into two levels. The 'La Popular' race commences one hour prior to the professional event with some runners driving the party atmosphere competing in costumes as the crowd enjoys spraying runners with silly string and cream as they pass. The professional race is for those who feel really feel fit - to enter this race you must be able to complete the 10 km inside 40 minutes.
