The San Silvestre Vallecana is an annual 10 km road race held on 31 December in Madrid, Spain since 1964. It has two editions: a fun run for amateur athletes and an elite race for professional athletes. In 2012, the race achieved its historical record of participants, up to 40,000.{{Cite web|date=2012-12-17|title=Récord de participación en la San Silvestre 2012|url=https://www.abc.es/espana/madrid/abci-sansilvestre-2012-madrid-201212170000_noticia.html|access-date=2022-01-01|website=ABC|location=Madrid|language=es}}

It is based upon the Saint Silvester Road Race, a Brazilian race (held since 1925) which spawned numerous other New Year's Eve races. Along with the Madrid Marathon, the San Silvestre Vallecana is one of the city's foremost annual running events.

The San Silvestre Popular is a part of the broader San Silvestre Vallecana event that caters to amateur runners of all levels. It provides an opportunity for participants to enjoy a festive 10 km race on New Year’s Eve. The race begins at Concha Espina street and concludes in Vallecas Stadium, with the course passing through some of Madrid's most iconic locations. This version of the event emphasizes inclusivity and celebration, attracting thousands of runners who dress up in costumes and share the joy of the year's end.{{Cite web |title=San Silvestre Vallecana 2025 |url=https://www.esmadrid.com/agenda/sansilvestre-madrid |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=Turismo Madrid |language=es}}

The San Silvestre Popular is celebrated as a family-friendly event, featuring vibrant music, cheering crowds, and an electric atmosphere. Many participants join for fun rather than competition, creating a stark contrast to the elite race that occurs later the same evening.
