As it does every year, the Cursa dels Nassos<\/strong> will take place on December 31<\/strong>, starting at 17:30h. This year it will be on Tuesday. Ending the year 2019 with a running event is not only motivating, but it will also make people more aware of the need to exercise all year round.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t already know, the location of the start and finish are the same, at Carrer de la<\/strong> Selva de Mar<\/strong> in Poblenou<\/strong><\/a>. From here, all runners will follow a 10 kilometre route, and somewhere they will pass a tunnel with led- and laserlights and, besides other elements, an exciting fire spectacle.<\/p>\n

The route will follow the entire maritime coastline, and from there they will pass the following streets: Avinguda del Marqu\u00e9s de l’Argentera<\/strong>, Carrer de la Marina<\/strong> (in Eixample<\/strong><\/a>), Carrer de Bonaventura Mu\u00f1oz<\/strong>, Avinguda Diagonal<\/strong> and Carrer de la Selva de Mar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Cursa dels Nassos is a hugely popular race, and it was held for the first time on December 31, 1999. At that time it was known as the San Silvestre Barcelonesa<\/strong>, but a few years later they decided to change the name. The San Silvestre still exists, and it is also organised on the same day, but the running event has moved to the nearby town of Sant Cugat del Vall\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

The Cursa dels Nassos is organised by the Barcelona City Council<\/strong><\/a>, Barcelona\u2019s Sports Institute and the Catalan Athletic Group, which is in charge of the technical part.<\/p>\n

Top athletes, runners<\/strong><\/a> and people of all ages can register for this sports event, and because there are no strict rules for application, this is one of the busiest running events in the country, after the San Silvestre Vallecana.<\/p>\n
