San Silvestre Fuente de Cantos 2026

San Silvestre Fuente de Cantos is a New Year’s Eve road race held in Fuente de Cantos, a town in Badajoz, Extremadura. The primary race covers 3.8 km, with an additional 7.6 km non-competitive option available for those seeking a longer run outside the main race format. The Fuente de Cantos town council organizes the event, which is a fixture on the local running calendar in Badajoz. The event features age-group circuits instead of a single course for all participants. The youngest runners, known as “Pitufos,” compete over 100 m on Calle Los Santos. Older children navigate short loops on streets like Calvario, Nueva, and Santos. The main Circuit C involves cadets through masters running two laps on streets including Santos, Calvario, Gravina, Carmelitas, Guadalcanal, Jesús, Riego, Paco Araujo, and Los Santos, incorporating Plaza Constitución and Plaza Manuel Carrascal. A race-walking exhibition is also part of the program, giving the morning the feel of a local athletics meet rather than solely an adult road race.
