The San Silvestre Vallecana has been celebrated every 31 December since 1964, turning Madrid into one huge 10 km street party to close out the year. On 31 December 2025, tens of thousands of runners will again line up for the Popular 10 km, followed later by the Internacional edition reserved for faster, qualified athletes, both on urban road courses that flow from the city centre towards the working-class district of Vallecas. The route is entirely on asphalt, generally net-downhill, and passes some of Madrid’s best-known avenues and landmarks, creating a fast race with a carnival atmosphere of music, costumes and spectators. With its IAAF Gold Label status, deep elite fields and huge local participation, it’s widely regarded as one of the world’s most iconic year-end road races.
