Which New Year's Eve race in São Paulo is held on the streets of Brazil's largest city?

The São Silvestre Road Race is the New Year's Eve race held on the streets of São Paulo, Brazil. It is one of the country's most famous mass road-running events.

The race was founded in 1925 by journalist Cásper Líbero, who named it after Saint Sylvester, whose feast day falls on December 31. The route and distance have changed over time, but the event has remained a prominent year-end sporting tradition in São Paulo.

The race is often called the Corrida Internacional de São Silvestre in Portuguese. It is distinct from Rio de Janeiro's beach-based Réveillon celebration and from New Year's races held in other countries. Elite competitors and large numbers of recreational runners take part, making it both an international competition and a major public festival.
