The San Silvestre of Cartagena breaks its roof again

The oldest San Silvestre in the Region of Murcia continues to improve its records year after year. On this last day of 2023, 3,216 people will travel the 5.8 kilometers of which the test is made up, breaking the historical participation record that dated from last year. The race, organized by LA VERDAD with the Sports Department of the Cartagena City Council and the collaboration of the Athletics Federation (FAMU) and municipal clubs, continues to demonstrate its relevance in what will be its forty-second edition. The queen's race, which will start at 11:30 am from Paseo Alfonso XII and will have its finish line at the Town Hall, has completed a total of 2,864 numbers.

This year the exit has been modified with respect to previous editions in order to avoid the bottleneck that occurred on Calle Mayor. In this way, at the beginning we will run along much wider avenues such as Calle Real or Carlos III, which will mean an even more peaceful experience for the runners.

From 10:00 a.m. there will be different races for the little ones. In the sub-8, 58 participants have registered; in the sub-10, up to 101; in the sub-12, 102 and, in the sub-14, 98. The youngest ones will cover 500 meters and the sub-12 and sub-14, 1,000. All tests will take place in a closed circuit with supervision of monitors.

The different tests will begin at 10:00 a.m.; the 5.8 kilometer one will start at 11:30 a.m.
