In the Municipality's Assembly Hall, a general meeting was held with each of the areas, commissions, and work teams to finalize the organizational aspects of the great athletics festival that the city will experience this weekend. On Saturday at 8:00 PM at San Lorenzo and Sarmiento, the 10 KM race will start, and a large turnout is expected, given that a special 3 KM participatory distance was also added this year.
"We have been working since August, and now we are finalizing details so that everything works perfectly," noted the Municipal Secretary of Sports, Marcelo Cresto. "Many areas and institutions are collaborating with the Maratón de Reyes, all areas of the Municipality, Traffic, the Secretariat of Public Works, Public Services, Government, Health, the entire municipality, because that is the decision of the mayor Enrique Cresto, that this athletic event which identifies us and is the most important in the province continues to grow," maintained the head of the municipal sports department.
In this regard, Marcelo Cresto highlighted and thanked the support of "the clubs and sports groups that give us a great hand, with their participation and collaboration in each of the 5 water supply stations, plus the one that will be at the Finish Line, to mitigate the heat if high temperatures are recorded, which is important to take care of all the athletes."
At the same time, he pointed out that "the Secretariat of Human Development and Health, together with 107 and the Masvernat Hospital, designed a health operation, which we already implemented in the last edition and continue to carry out, adding improvements year after year to our greatest sports festival."
