On Saturday, January 10, at 8:00 PM, the traditional International Reyes Marathon will kick off, with its 10K and 5K distances.
This morning, the official presentation of the 47th edition took place, with the presence of Mayor Francisco Azcué, Undersecretary of Sports Ivana Pérez, and Marcelo Flores from the “Los Galgos” Athletic Association.
“Sport is a very important tool for development, inclusion, and transformation for us. Therefore, these events, which are complex and require a great deal of experience, demand articulated work between the public and private sectors,” stated Mayor Azcué, who remarked that the Reyes Marathon “belongs to all of us in Concordia. It is a sporting and cultural heritage that projects our city.”
Ivana Pérez highlighted the joint work of all municipal areas involved in the organization so that next year's edition “may once again be a great celebration, both for the athletes and for the public that always supports and cheers on the runners.”
For his part, Flores expressed that “there is no other competition in the country that brings together so many residents cheering, supporting, and enjoying themselves as Reyes does, and that is a magic that must never be lost.”
