The city breathed again the province's premier athletic event. With a special organization to maximize prevention measures due to the health situation, the epicenter of the event was at the Costanera, where the start and finish lines were located. Mayor Alfredo Francolini attended the entire event, highlighted the team that worked on the organization, and congratulated "the great winner, who today is Juani Segovia".
The journalist and experienced athlete from Concordia, Juan Ignacio Segovia, was crowned champion of this special edition. "I have just fulfilled a dream; one always wants to win the Maratón de Reyes. Even though one participates in races in different parts of the country or in other countries, people always remember how you did in the Maratón de Reyes. It is impressive what is experienced in this celebration," he noted.
"I didn't have much confidence in myself," commented Segovia, referring to the few competitions he has participated in recently. "Thanks to my friend Martín Méndez, who is my coach, I was able to make it and I ran much better than I thought," he confessed. "When I turned and passed by the Centro de Empleados de Comercio and saw the finish line, my mind went blank and I had a smile from ear to ear. I dedicate this to my parents, my girlfriend, and my little dogs, who are my training partners," he added.
Madelein Bordón from Corrientes was the winner in the women's category, having already competed in other editions of the Maratón de Reyes. "On the way, I lacked strength, and the people gave it to me. In this context of the pandemic that we are going through, the people behaved very well, everyone was wearing their face masks and cheering. It was beautiful," she said.
"I always participated in the 5km. This is the second time I've run the 10km; the previous time I did terribly and this time I had my revenge," she said, and dedicated her triumph "to my brother, who from heaven gave me all the support to win it."
"Everything went exactly as planned, for which many of us worked, with the goal of being able to run the Maratón de Reyes again, with a specific organization to continue taking care of ourselves, but with the decision to move forward in carrying out the activities that we all like, especially this athletic event which is very important for the city," expressed Mayor Alfredo Francolini.
The Mayor highlighted the work "of the entire organization team. This shows that we can continue moving forward in recovering activities after the pandemic; today the city's situation allows it, and with everyone's responsibility, we can achieve it." In addition, the mayor congratulated "all the runners and especially the winners of this 42nd edition."
During the race, provincial senator Armando Gay presented Mayor Alfredo Francolini with the declaration of Provincial Interest approved by the Legislature of Entre Ríos. Together with Chief of Cabinet Fernando Barboza, Secretary of Health Mauro García, Secretary of Urban Development Mireya López Bernis, Secretary of Social Development Amadeo Cresto, Director of Sports Javier Pagola, and race director Marcelo Flores, they closely followed the development of the competition. National Deputy Mayda Cresto and councilwoman Claudia Villalba were among the women who ran the 10 km distance.
