Join us for the 2025 San Silvestre run in Valencia

Categories: sport, Christmas.

TOURISTIC AREA: Historical center

Take part in the most fun race of the year to get 2026 off to a good start.

The streets of central Valencia will be transformed into a real sporting celebration on 30 December between 8 pm and 9.30 pm with the 40th edition of the San Silvestre Popular Valenciana run.

The start line will be on Calle Xàtiva, at the junction with San Vicente Mártir, and from there... get ready for an hour and a half of pure fun!

This race is all about the great vibe, the costumes, the music and having a good time, which are almost more important than the stopwatch.

Starting order

The most competitive runners will lead the race, ready to push themselves over the 5,000 metres.

Next up will be families, groups of friends and running enthusiasts who are there to enjoy themselves, have a laugh and see in the new year with a smile, while getting some exercise.

Registration and bib numbers

From 12 December, head to the sports department at El Corte Inglés (Pintor Sorolla, Avenida de Francia, Nuevo Centro or Hipercor Ademuz) and get your bib for just €2.

Do you want to compete seriously in the race? There are only 300 places available for the competitive category, and you can get yours at the S.D. Correcaminos offices (Calle Arquebisbe Fabian i Fuero, 14).

Hang on, because... there's a prize!

Once you have your race number, you can visit any municipal market on 26, 27 and 29 December (from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm) and pick up the official T-shirt for this 40th edition. Hurry, there are only 2,000 available.
