Registrations are proceeding at full speed and inquiries on the Marathon's social media are multiplying, in a clear demonstration of what this event represents for national athletics and the Concordia community.
“We are doing very well with the registrations, with the whole team working on the preparation of the circuit and all the details that make up the operational logistics of this great event next Saturday, January 7,” commented Marcelo Flores, general coordinator of the Maratón de Reyes, this afternoon.
“There is a great commitment from mayor Enrique Cresto to this race and the decision to consolidate the success of the Marathon, for everything that this race means for Concordia,” highlighted Flores.
One of the elite athletes listed on the starting grid is Juani Segovia, who comes from a year of several triumphs and first places on the podiums of various provincial races. “I am waiting for the race with a great desire to run and many expectations, there are several of us runners who trained very hard this year with our sights set on Reyes, so surely the first place will be highly contested, which also makes the show for the public more attractive as well,” argued the runner.
Segovia, who won the Reyes in 2021, also remarked that “one can run anywhere in the country, but what is experienced in the Maratón de Reyes, with the encouragement of the public and the whole city following the race, is something that can only be enjoyed here in Concordia, mainly for those of us who were born here and want the winner's title of the Marathon to stay in Concordia,” argued the athlete.
In the same vein, Concordia native Martín Méndez, a renowned competitor and habitual winner on the most demanding circuits, also referred to his expectations for Reyes: “competing in my city, in the most beautiful marathon in Argentina and the one I like to run the most, is something that is always much more motivating, that is why we are training, preparing ourselves and looking forward to being in the top places of the Maratón de Reyes,” he highlighted.
For this Friday, on the eve of the marathon, a press conference is planned where there will be two highlights: the words of the competitors who are coming to dispute the title of King or Queen of the Reyes and the presentation of the emergency operation that, with ambulances and rapid intervention teams, the Sports Secretariat designed in conjunction with the Health Secretariat and other government areas, prioritizing precisely the care of the health and well-being of the runners.
