About
The Saint Silvester Road Race (Portuguese: Corrida Internacional de São Silvestre) is a long-distance running event, the oldest and most prestigious street race in Brazil.
Regarded as the main international event in Latin American athletics, the Brazilian competition is held yearly in the city of São Paulo on December 31. This day is Saint Sylvester’s Day, as it is the day in which the Catholic saint, who was a Pope, died in the 4th century of the Christian Era.
São Paulo’s race was originally known as a «marathon», although the course of the race, whose length has varied considerably over the years, was never that of a full marathon. Because of that, the organization eventually dropped the term «marathon», starting to refer to the event as a «race», «international race» or «road race». There was never an official effort on the part of the organization to address the change in the nomenclature, which causes many, including some media outlets, to continue using the term «Saint Silvester Marathon» when referring to the event. Its course is only 15 km (9.3 mi) long, just over a third of a marathon. However, the race is made more difficult by the steep streets throughout the course and the fact that it happens during the local summertime.
Several other places like Amadora, Porto and Volta à cidade do Funchal in Portugal (Corrida de São Silvestre), Calderara di Reno (Maratona di San Silvestro) and Bolzano (BOclassic) in Italy, and Madrid in Spain (San Silvestre Vallecana), organize yearly Saint Silvester road races or marathons every late December.
