More than 1.500 people will run on the 31st in the popular Calvià race
Musical performances, children's races and costumes complete the event
Calvià will hold the 12th edition of HIDROBAL SAN SILVESTRE on Tuesday 31st December at 5 p.m. The sporting event, which began as a 6.7 km race that runs along the main avenues of Palmanova and Magaluf, starting and finishing at the athletics track, has grown a lot in recent years. The high participation, the tradition of running the race in costume and in groups, and the programming of complementary activities around the event, have contributed to its current success, being in recent years the most participated race of this type in the Balearic Islands.
A rock concert before the event, the main novelty of the edition
The organisers are looking to offer a very fun and lively sporting event, which serves to say goodbye to the year together. This year, a ROCK CONCERT will be included, which will start an hour and a half before the start of the race, so that participants and the public can enjoy the best rock songs of all time by the group ALMA SONORA before the race. In addition to the concert, the presence of DJs and speakers during the race will create a very lively and festive atmosphere.
The race in numbers will break the participation record again
In 2023, the record for participation in the race was set, with 1.400 participants (1.200 in the main race and 200 in the children's race). In 2024, everything indicates that these numbers will be greatly exceeded. In addition to the 200 children's registrations (maximum allowed), we must add the 920 that the main race has registered so far. Taking into account that registrations close on 30th December and that it is at this time when they increase the most, the organisation expects to reach 1.500 participants. The number of people who attend the event makes it, once again, the most popular San Silvestre race in the Balearic Islands.
The participants in the HIDROBAL SAN SILVESTRE do so with very different objectives, from those who seek to beat personal records on the last day of the year, to those who dress up and take advantage of the event to say goodbye to the year with family and friends, doing sport.
Costumes and a great atmosphere
Since its beginning, Hidrobal San Silvestre has been a tradition for many of the participants to do so in their “best clothes”. This led the organisation to create prizes for the best costumes. Without a doubt, the colour, fun and entertainment provided by the costumed people who take part in the event, serves to create an impressive race atmosphere, which is complemented by great race animation.
Services for participants
The race also stands out for including a wide and varied catalogue of services for participants. In this area, the post-finish line refreshments stand out, where chocolate and ensaïmada are offered, in order to replenish the strength lost in the effort of the race and create the basis to hold out until dinner.
Other services such as entertainment during the race, commemorative T-shirt, prizes, etc. make the race the most participated of its kind in recent years in the Balearic Islands.
