The
San Silvestre Popular is a part of the broader
San Silvestre Vallecana event that caters to amateur runners of all levels. It provides an opportunity for participants to enjoy a festive 10 km race on New Year's Eve. The race begins at Concha Espina street and concludes in
Vallecas Stadium, with the course passing through some of Madrid's most iconic locations. This version of the event emphasizes inclusivity and celebration, attracting thousands of runners who dress up in costumes and share the joy of the year's end. The
San Silvestre Popular is celebrated as a family-friendly event, featuring vibrant music, cheering crowds, and an electric atmosphere. Many participants join for fun rather than competition, creating a stark contrast to the elite race that occurs later the same evening. ==Past winners==
