In a press conference, Mayor Alfredo Francolini presided over the official presentation of the 2021 International Reyes Marathon, highlighting the sanitary conditions and preventive protocols that will govern the holding of the event. This year the Reyes Marathon will also be the "Marathon of the Homeland".
"On the date when the Reyes Marathon is traditionally held, we were not in a position to carry out the event; we had a high municipal tax of infections and Covid-19 cases in the city. Today the situation is different, it has improved a lot and the vaccination plan is already underway. Today we can schedule the race. If we continue to take care of ourselves and comply with the preventive measures, we will reach this special date with the appropriate conditions for the most traditional and representative athletic race in the region to be held," stated the mayor Alfredo Francolini in statements to the media.
The new Tourist Information Center (CIT), at Pellegrini and Mitre, was the setting for the officialization and launch of the 42nd International Reyes Marathon. Along with the Mayor were the provincial Secretary of Sports José Gómez, the director of the athletic race Marcelo Flores, the provincial senator Armando Gay and the provincial deputy Néstor Loggio, together with the Municipality's Chief of Cabinet Fernando Barboza, the Secretary of Economic Development and Tourism Aldo Álvarez and the Secretary of Health and Sports Mauro García.
“The idea was never to suspend the 2021 Marathon, but to postpone it and wait for the moment when it could be held. Today the epidemiological situation has improved and allows us to begin scheduling it. The announced date is a special date, and on a weekend that will also contribute to tourism," considered the general director of the Marathon Marcelo Flores.
For this year, “the circuit has been modified because we chose the epicenter of Costanera, which it was from 2011 to 2014, and the start time will be from 3:00 PM onwards", confirmed Flores and remarked that “we set a maximum of 60% of participants of what the Reyes Marathon normally has capacity for, and it will be carried out under a strict Protocol both in the registration requirements and in its development”, he pointed out.
For his part, the Secretary of Sports of the Provincial Government, José Gomez, valued “the decision of the Municipality and the people of Concordia to take on the challenge of holding this Marathon, which is the most important one in the province and the region, and which identifies the people of Concordia so much. We congratulate the Mayor for this decision and he has the support of the Provincial Government so that it is carried out in the best way".
Registrations can be made virtually or in person, the latter being with a strict protocol, starting on April 5 at the Tourist Information Center. For more information you can visit the event's facebook www.facebook.com/
