Barcelona | New Year's Eve 10k Race |San Silvestre

The Race:
The course is as flat as you can get, and along the wide boulevards of Barcelona. Starting near the Marina area at dusk, it is just 10 minutes before you are running in darkness. Not a problem here on the wide roads with great street lighting. You run up to the Arc de Triomf, and then head down 'Diagonal', perhaps the best known of Barcelona's boulevards, to the sea front. Then it is along the seaside road for 3K, turning right near Port Olympic and doubling back to the finish. This is an ideal course for a PB.

Spectators and Supporters:
We know how important spectators and supporters are at these events. We provide a supporters package at no extra charge. We will advise where on the course are the most advantageous spectator positions, and how to get there easily and in time for the race. More often than not we will take you there and join you for a cup of coffee and have a few surprises planned whilst awaiting the first sight of the runners! All our hotels are comfortably furnished with TV and entertainment facilities - many have spas, pools and saunas too.

Charity Runners:
'Running Crazy' are delighted to welcome runners who are raising sponsorship for registered charities. We know that the great feeling of accomplishment when completing the race, feels even better when you are helping others in to the bargain! See our Run for Charity link to choose a charity that you can help. Many charities listed there will provide special runners packs including sponsorship forms and tips, and also charity running vests. Just contact them with your details and tell them you intend to run with 'Running Crazy' on their behalf. In addition we will provide you with a 'Running Crazy' Certificate confirming your achievement and result, and also a special commemorative prize. Just specify the charity name in your 'Application'.

Entertainment:
Barcelona is a great city in which to let your hair down, and has become a number 1 tourist destination. There is so much to see and do in this city that you will find yourself returning again and again and again. No problem - we have races on offer at various times during the year! New Year is a great time to visit and we will provide plenty of ideas of places to go. Places like the Sagrada Familia, FC Barcelona's Nou Camp, the Magic Fountains of Montjuic. In addition we can give you suggestions for party places for the New Year.

Groups:
This weekend offers a great opportunity for Clubs or Training Partners to get together. It may also make the travel arrangements more convenient and enjoyable. There are discounts available for larger groups (20+), but even a group of just 10 will qualify for an additional prize for the first or last to finish (you choose).

Prices
Our all inclusive prices are extremely competitive - from as little as just £149 for the weekend - we know we cannot be beaten on price - and our runners continually tell us that they receive so much more on a 'Running Crazy' weekend break. All our 'resort races' offer half board accommodation, and for our 'Big City' races we know all the best value places to eat, drink and have fun. Indeed we book these for our pre-race and after race gatherings, meaning groups and individuals can just sit back, relax, make new running pals and let us do any worrying. No tourist traps for our clients! We know these races and places inside out, and will advise on what to see and do over the weekend, provide directions and maps - all very useful when on a tight timescale. All you have to do is run!
