This year's race is specially designed to foster a sense of unity among participants, with a route that extends through six kilometers of local terrain.

Let's enjoy the daily adventure. Congratulations 2024!" These messages are crafted to motivate and inspire runners and spectators alike to appreciate every step of their life's path.
The race's route encourages athletes and amateurs to share the experience, fostering a communal atmosphere where the collective triumph is celebrated over individual prowess. Emphasizing the transition from one year to the next, another slogan, "Finish the old, start running," serves as a rallying cry for individuals to tackle the year ahead with energy and determination.
A Pledge for Inclusive Celebration
In essence, the San Silvestre race is more than a competition; it is a reflection of the community's desire to embrace every participant's contribution to the social tapestry. The event is a symbol of hope and aspiration for the year 2024, a pronouncement of inclusion and equality that reaches beyond the finish line. As the participants traverse each kilometer, they are not just racing; they are embodying the spirit of "Dream with what is to come," collectively running towards a future that holds the promise of shared achievements and celebrations.
