The Soriano Daniel Mateo You already know what it’s like to shine in Vallecana. He was sixth in 2021, a few months after taking the Hour Record on the track.

He has a best 10K mark of 28:26, precisely achieved in that farewell to 2021 that is such a good memory for Mateo.
Another who knows what it’s like to fly in the Nationale-Nederlanden San Silvestre Vallecana is Juan Antonio “Chiki” Prez. Classic if there is one in the best San Silvestre in the world, the one from Ciudad Real was the best Spanish in the 2018 edition, entering hand in hand with Toni Abada. “Chiki” Pérez must always be taken into account for the best, especially considering that he is still the sixth fastest Spaniard in history in a 10K: 27:56.
Complete this luxury tro Ibrahim Chakir. World Cup winner in Budapest this summer, where he finished in an interesting 24th place in the marathon, Chakir temporarily abandons the distance of Filpides to try to make a leap in his personal best in 10K on the road, 29:00, which dates back to 2019.
