San Silvestre Candelaria 2026

San Silvestre Candelaria is a 5 km non-competitive run in Candelaria, on Tenerife, held in late December as the year winds down. It starts in the afternoon from Avenida Maritima in the municipality of Candelaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and is organized by Trotamundos de Candelaria. The event is a popular running day rather than a race built around rankings. The route goes through the streets of Candelaria, with athletes, casual runners, fans, and end-of-year crowds sharing the same setting. Its San Silvestre format gives it a Christmas and New Year feel, with the emphasis on movement, fun, and local atmosphere instead of pure competition. The edition listed is the twelfth, so this is an established local tradition.
