San Silvestre Jerreirana: 2026 date, venue and known details

Plan your race pace

The next edition of Carnota’s San Silvestre is scheduled for December 13, 2026. Available information places the event at Estrada Cee-Ribeira 311 in the Galician municipality, but key details for participants have yet to be announced, including distances, start time, entry fee and registration process.

The event follows a recent local tradition with a festive, Christmas-season spirit. The 2025 edition took place on December 14 and was presented as an opportunity to run in costume, share the morning and round off the sporting year. For 2026, the announced date is Sunday, December 13; other details should be confirmed when information specific to the new event is published.

The 2026 date and what is confirmed

The available listing gives December 13, 2026, as the event date and identifies the venue as Estrada Cee-Ribeira 311, 15293 Carnota. These are the concrete details that place the event on the calendar and locate it in the municipality, in A Coruña province. The date falls on a Sunday, a common format for winter road races.

The information does not yet provide a complete schedule. There is no listed start time, registration deadline or bib collection point. The course, elevation, surface and categories have also not been specified. The absence of those details does not mean they will not be available; it means they are not included in the information supplied for this edition.

It is important to be cautious about a local event whose conditions may be updated as December approaches. A calendar listing may announce a date before adding regulations, fees or a final route. Details from 2025 help explain the event’s character, but they should not automatically be carried over to the 2026 race.

A popular race with a Christmas atmosphere

The 2025 edition was described as a festive race where participants could run in costume. That combination defines many San Silvestre events: bibs share the spotlight with hats, bright clothing and imaginative outfits, while the pace often leaves room for conversation and enjoyment. In Carnota, the previous event was presented as a shared way to see out the year and welcome the next one.

The light-hearted atmosphere does not change the event’s sporting nature. A popular race brings together people with very different levels of experience, from those aiming to finish comfortably to runners accustomed to competition. A festive setting can make a race feel more accessible, although every participant should consider their fitness and follow the regulations once published. The previous edition’s information highlighted costumes and shared participation, not performance requirements.

For events of this kind, the value often lies as much in physical activity as in bringing residents and visitors together. Christmas clothing adds colour to the streets and turns an ordinary run into a recognisable December scene. However, no costume contest, prizes or related activities have been confirmed for 2026, so those features should not be assumed to be part of the future programme.

What is known about the previous edition

The 2025 race took place on Sunday, December 14, in Carnota and was identified in the reference information as the second edition of the San Silvestre Jerreirana. Another results report described it as a popular 7-kilometre race, with runners from the Atletismo SAR club taking part. This provides context about the previous event, but does not confirm that the same route will be used in 2026.

The report from that day listed results for specific runners: Antonio Luaces finished 11th in 27 minutes, 53 seconds; J. Carlos Fernández came 30th in 33:50, and Nanci Caamaño finished 31st in the same time and placed second in the women’s 45-and-over masters category. These results describe only the 2025 edition; they are neither benchmarks nor predictions for the next race.

Information also said that Club O Jerreiro organised the second edition in 2025 in collaboration with Carnota Town Council. That attribution applies to the previous event. For 2026, the available listing says the event does not yet have a verified organiser on the platform publishing it, so the information provided does not confirm who will formally organise the new edition.

Course, distances and registration: details still pending

The 7-kilometre distance belongs to the 2025 reference. There is not enough information to say that the route will remain the same, that there will be a children’s race or that walking options will be offered. The course profile is also unknown, as is whether it will follow urban streets, roads or paths. Until updated regulations are published, the 2026 route and distances should be considered unpublished.

Registration also remains unconfirmed. No fees, opening dates, participant limits or registration platform have been provided for the next edition. An event aggregator’s listing can offer general information, but it does not replace the conditions set by the organisers. In particular, there is no basis for reusing prices, categories or rules from other races with similar names.

Once registration is announced, participants will want to check what the entry fee includes and what documents are required, as well as whether different conditions apply to minors. Popular-race regulations often explain matters such as bibs, participant insurance, cut-off times and how complaints are handled. For this event, none of those conditions has been confirmed for 2026 in the available information.

Carnota, the setting for the event

Carnota is on the Costa da Morte in A Coruña, and the address published for the event is Estrada Cee-Ribeira 311. The listing helps locate the activity within the municipality, but does not clarify whether the address refers to the start, finish, an organisational venue or an administrative point. It is therefore not yet an official course map or definitive access information.

Runners travelling from elsewhere will need to wait for logistical instructions. The precise start and finish locations, parking options and any traffic changes can affect arrival, particularly for an event with family participation. The general address is a reference point, not a complete guide for race day.

Carnota provides a distinctive setting for a winter event, but the information reviewed does not identify specific streets, paths or landmarks on the 2026 course. Naming them now would mean assigning the race an unconfirmed route. For the moment, the relevant details are that the municipality is listed as the venue and the event is scheduled for December.

How to read the published information

Race calendars and event aggregators are useful for discovering events, but they may combine partial or unverified details. The date and address appear in the 2026 listing, while other fields are not developed. That difference makes it important to distinguish what has been announced for the next edition from the 2025 background, particularly when discussing distance, organiser or programme.

The clearest historical reference is the 7-kilometre race held in December 2025. The festive character, option to run in costume and collaboration between Club O Jerreiro and the town council for that edition are also documented. None of those details alone guarantees that the same course, organising team or activities will return in 2026.

The most reliable approach is to treat the date as confirmed in the information provided and consider the rest of the programme incomplete. The listing says there is no verified organiser, a detail that counsels against treating unpublished conditions as official. An updated calendar entry and regulations for the edition will be needed to complete the practical information.

Reasonable preparation for a December race

Even though the course is unknown, runners can keep general winter-race considerations in mind. December can bring rain, wind and low temperatures, but the actual conditions will depend on the weather that day. Clothing should allow comfortable movement and provide warmth before the start without restricting the run; if costumes remain part of the atmosphere, they should not obstruct vision or movement.

Training should also be adjusted once the official distance is announced. It is not advisable to base a training plan on the previous edition’s 7 kilometres until it is confirmed that the 2026 event will cover the same distance. Anyone returning to exercise or unsure about their health should build up gradually and consult a health professional rather than improvising a heavy training load in the days before the race.

Race-day arrival time will depend on instructions about bibs and access. Without those details, no specific arrival time can be recommended. Checking the forecast, bringing a dry layer for after the run and following organiser instructions are general measures, not official rules for this event. The final regulations should take precedence over any general advice.

A date on the calendar, with the programme still to come

Carnota’s next event now has a clear place on the calendar: December 13, 2026. Its 2025 predecessor was a festive popular race featuring costumes and a 7-kilometre distance, but those characteristics are not enough to confirm the format of the next edition. The distinction between historical context and a confirmed condition matters when runners are planning on the basis of reliable information.

For now, the Estrada Cee-Ribeira 311 address and the date are the concrete details announced for 2026. The start time, route, categories, entry fee, registration and verified organiser are still unknown. The event can be assessed more precisely once its full race announcement is published, with the information participants, families and visitors travelling to Carnota will need.

San Silvestre races offer a communal send-off to the athletics calendar: one runner may approach the event competitively, another as a festive outing, with both sharing the course. That spirit was already present in Carnota’s previous edition. The new date continues the event’s place in the calendar, while the outstanding details will determine what the 2026 race will ultimately look like.
