San SIlvestre Alburquerqueña 2026

The San Silvestre Alburquerqueña is a running race held in the center of Alburquerque, a town in Extremadura, marking the end of the year. It adheres to the Spanish San Silvestre tradition, where participants run on the final afternoon of the year, transforming New Year's Eve into a local road race prior to evening festivities. The route, planned by the municipal sports department, winds through several of the town's main heritage sites. This allows runners to view Alburquerque's historic center instead of a confined sports facility. The race maintains a small, local character, with a recent edition attracting nearly 300 participants. The town council has recognized the event's return as a notable occasion.
