ATHLETICS
There will be end-of-year races in the two largest cities in the Region, adjusted to the requirements demanded by Health and complying with the protocol
There will be a San Silvestre de Murcia, Cartagena and Lorca race at the end of the year on December 31, the three main cities of the Region, complying with all current health protocols and always adjusting to the requirements demanded by the authorities to avoid contagion of coronavirus. In all three cases, the San Silvestre will be organized by LA VERDAD, a newspaper that has promoted this sporting and recreational event in the Region in recent years until it has become one of the most important on the regional sports calendar.
Registrations are already open in San Silvestre de Lorca and tomorrow will begin the deadline to sign up in Murcia and Cartagena. In the test of the capital of Segura, the start and finish are kept on the Paseo Teniente Flomesta, in front of the Murcia City Hall. The route will be somewhat shorter than in previous editions and the senior category race will begin at 5:00 p.m.
THE RACE OF MURCIA

Departure and arrival
Walk Lieutenant Flomesta. -
Masks

Registration opening
On Monday the 13th, for the San Silvestre de Murcia and Cartagena.
There will be a technical shirt for all those registered, as in previous years. And the Official College of Pharmacists will provide masks for the three races. They will be compulsory before and after the test and, in addition, the identity card will be essential to remove the number and the shirt. In Murcia, in addition, there will be staggered exits separating professionals, popular runners and costumed athletes.
On this occasion, due to the covid protocol, we want to avoid that there are many people passing by the podium, so the winners in costumes will be the first three in costume to reach the goal. This will be the case in Murcia, Cartagena and Lorca.
From the port
Meanwhile, in the port city the test will start a little later, at 5.30 p.m., and the ‘ground zero’ is moved to the cruise terminal of the Port of Cartagena, in order to avoid crowds in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, place in the one that was usually located at the start and finish line of the San Silvestre Cartagena. All participants will have insurance that will cover any accident or injury.
