Mayor Alfredo Francolini and the director of the Maratón de Reyes, Marcelo Flores, delivered the brand-new car to Julián Díaz, who was the winner of the raffle at the 41st Maratón Internacional de Reyes. After completing the award procedures, the resident of Concordia, accompanied by his family, expressed his excitement about his new car.
"The award and the registration procedures were carried out in a timely and proper manner. I congratulate Julián and the entire organizing committee of the Maratón de Reyes," said Mayor Alfredo Francolini upon handing over the vehicle keys to the runner who was the lucky winner of the brand-new car raffle.
"The Marathon is one of the city's most popular events, along with the National Citriculture Festival and the Carnival. Athletes who compete in various places in Argentina and internationally state that it is the only competition where there are no empty spaces and the entire city supports it," commented the Mayor.
For his part, the athletic event director, Marcelo Flores, described his feelings after handing the car keys to Díaz: “The long-awaited day has finally arrived, after an agile and quick procedure. I see a happy family that is going to enjoy their car.”
Julián Díaz, who ran the 10-kilometer race with number 1048, commented on his feelings upon receiving the brand-new car: “Luckily, today we can pick it up together with my family, who always accompanies me. I thank the organizers and the Municipality for the prize,” said the man who lives in Villa Adela.
"When the first two numbers were called I was calm, then they said 0 and only one number was left and I couldn't believe it. When they said the number I ran out, I was in front of the stage with my girlfriend and some friends,” he recalled.
In this way, a successful edition of the Maratón Internacional de Reyes comes to an end.
