Sunday September 25 is the next SíClovía from 10a.m. to 3p.m. along Broadway Street. SíClovía is San Antonio’s version of CiClovía, an event that originated in Bógota, Columbia more than 30 years ago. It is a free event that involves making a section of downtown streets available for residents to walk, run, ride a bicycle or do anything that gets them moving and therefore physically active. The streets become temporarily car free five hours and the route will connect city parks with many Reclovía areas along the way where people can join in activities such as exercise classes and other activities for children. Water will be available at every Reclovía and there will be beverages for sale along the way. Pets are welcome but must be on a leash and owners need to pick up after them.
There will also be a 5K Run and a 5K Walk along with other activities. Early bird entry fees are $25 for the walk/run and $10 for ages 14 and under. Those who wish to participate can still do so by registering the day of the race for $30 from 6a.m. to 7:45a.m. at the race site. Packets may be picked up at the YMCA at TriPoint on St Mary’s Street or at the race site from 7a.m. to 7:55a.m. Awards will be given to the top two male and female in each age group and top two male and female overall and masters. They will be handed out immediately after the race in Alamo Plaza. Age groups include 14 and under, 15 – 19, 20-69 in ten year increments and 70 plus.
