On the second Saturday of January 2018, the XXXIX edition of the International Reyes Marathon will take place, an event that is part of our history and positions us as one of the cities with the greatest sporting momentum in the country. On December 28 and 29, in-person registration will begin at the Civic Center.
"The International Reyes Marathon constitutes the most important athletic event in the Mesopotamia region and we are privileged to be an active part of it," indicated Marcelo Flores, Coordinator of the organizing body. This sporting event annually brings together more than 6,000 athletes from all over the country and abroad, who attend seeking to be crowned as the new winner of such an important competition.
"The organization of the 39th edition of the Reyes Marathon demands a great deal of responsibility from us. By decision of the Mayor Enrique Cresto and together with the Secretary of Sports Marcelo Cresto, his entire team and the institutions involved in this important event for the city, we have been working very satisfactorily," indicated Flores.
We remind you that one of the fundamental requirements to be part of this sporting event is to undergo a comprehensive medical check-up prior to the event. It is worth noting that temperatures in January are high, and not being prepared or physically fit can lead to serious health risks for the athletes.
In-person registration will begin this December 28 and 29 at the Civic Center from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Each registered runner will receive the kit with all the necessary elements to guarantee an optimal marathon.
As in previous editions, a 0 km car will be raffled off, and in this edition, not only the 10 km runners will participate in the raffle, but also those registered in the 5 km distance. The organization also reported that cash prizes for 10 km participants have been increased, and also that the 5 km will be competitive (meaning they will have classification by categories and awards).
