San Sebastián de los Reyes is gearing up for its final race of the year on Sunday, December 27, as part of the local Run Series circuit. Under the slogan ‘Christmas Unites Us’, a new edition of the SanSelvestre is unveiled, a sporting celebration that serves as a warm-up to compete a few days later in Madrid’s San Silvestre Vallecana. Or, simply, to have a great time running a few kilometers in the midst of Christmas.

The race, with start and finish in Plaza de la Constitución, will be open to participation from people aged 12 and up, who can register for the distances of 5 and 10 kilometers. In addition, there will be children’s races, with routes adapted to the different age categories and to the number of registered participants.

The registrations can already be made for only 14 euros for adults and free for those under 12 years old on the website www.sanselvestre.es. All runners will receive a commemorative T-shirt.

Plazas are limited to 1,500 bib numbers for the 5- and 10-kilometer races and 300 for the children’s races, which will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, open until December 22. Registrations may close early if all places are filled.

Again, this sporting event will have a charitable purpose: to help Álex, a boy whom the whole city holds dear, as we have been running in his favor for many years. A portion of the registration fee will be donated to this cause. In addition, the Dorsal 0 will be available, so those who are not going to compete or who wish to make an additional voluntary contribution can donate directly via Bizum to the number 669930915 (concept: “Dorsal 0 Sanselvestre – La Carrera de Álex”).
