The 44th edition of the International Reyes Marathon will be held on January 7th. The 0 km car raffle and special gifts from sponsors are back; the 5-kilometer circuit will also be competitive; prize amounts will be increased and Mayor Enrique Cresto is managing resources so that runners can access an affordable registration fee.
“The Mayor wants to give a great boost to this new edition of the Marathon. He called us to a meeting to finalize the most important organizational aspects, to guarantee the success of this event, which is so important for Concordia and our province,” stated the general coordinator of the race, Marcelo Flores, regarding the matter.
AFFORDABLE REGISTRATION
“The Mayor pointed out to us the importance of investing more in prizes and in the return of the car raffle, to recognize the effort and participation of the runners who bring the Reyes Marathon to life,” highlighted Flores. “Also the need for a registration fee within everyone's reach, so that people who want to participate can do so,” he added.
The organization's calculations establish that the budget per runner would be around $5000.- (taking into account the costs of t-shirts, sports kits, insurance, controls, trophies, medals, hydration, participation in raffles, and other complementary expenses).
However, Flores announced that “thanks to the work that the Mayor is carrying out to manage resources before the Nation and Province - and his decision to invest resources in the Marathon, due to what it represents as a sporting and tourist event - we are closing a registration fee of $ 1000.-, which immediately positions our marathon as one of the events with the lowest registration cost and the greatest benefits,” he emphasized.
A RACE FOR EVERYONE
“The intention of the Mayor and the municipal administration is for the Reyes Marathon to continue being a great sporting celebration. That is why a lot of work is being done on all the details that consolidate this event as a massive, popular, and high-level race,” highlighted the municipal Secretary of Sports, Marcelo Cresto.
“It will be run on January 7th, starting the main 10-kilometer race at 8:00 PM in front of the Concordia Convention Center, along San Lorenzo and Sarmiento avenues, finishing at the Municipal Corsódromo. In this edition, the 5 kilometers will also be competitive, with classification and prizes. All runners will participate in the car raffle and the sponsors will also provide special gifts for everyone,” the official detailed.
For this Monday, a new meeting was called with the work team that organizes the marathon, in order to continue advancing in the scheme of actions agreed upon with the Mayor and accelerate the timelines, given that the goal is for this edition to redouble the merits that made the Reyes Marathon one of the most important sporting and tourist events of the summer, both in Argentina and in neighboring countries.
