With a record participation of more than 1500 children, this Friday, January 12, the Mini Reyes Marathon will take place, serving as the prelude to the great athletic festival that will be experienced on Saturday with the XXXIX International Reyes Marathon. This year, the youth of Concordia's athletics scene will run for the first time in the official jersey.
“Our goal is for the Reyes Marathon to continue being the popular sporting festival that it is, and at the same time, to be recognized nationally and internationally,” which is why it is important “that children participate, setting aside any competitive spirit, and instead come with their families to have fun and take home the memory of having been part of this event,” noted Mayor Enrique Cresto.
The Mini Reyes will be held at the “Atanasio Bonfiglio” Corsódromo in our city, and the call for registered participants is at 6:00 PM. The categories and distances were designed according to the participants' ages: 2012-13 category, 4 and 5 years old, 50 meters; 2010-11 category, 6 and 7 years old, will run 100 meters; 2008-09, 8 and 9 years old, 200 meters; 2006-07 category, 10 and 11 years old, will run 400 meters; 2004-05 category, 12 and 13 years old, 800 meters; 2002-03 category, 14 and 15 years old, 1200 meters; and the 2000-01 category, 16 and 17 years old, will run 3000 meters.
