We enrolled with friends in the San Silvestre 5 km fun race which was held on December 28th in Alicante. Running a race may not seem like our style, but taking part in a ‘San Silvestre’ fun race is part of the Spanish tradition.

We arrived in our costumes at the race and there were thousands of people gathered to partake in the race or to watch the race. The start of the race began at 10 pm and everyone was in a festive mood.

We ran along slowly with the crowd looking at the different light displays on the streets.

We also came across different costumes which were quite creative.

 

We finished the 5 km race around 35 minutes or so.

We then went through to an area with free refreshments for the participants.

We enjoyed a refreshment before heading home. It was a fun experience and was very enjoyable.

“Hasta Luego y Tengas un grand dia”
