It was the first time that a commercial firm joined the move-driven street San Fernando, since 1975, and the San Felipe and Santiago, which dates from 1996.
The crisis that hit to cut the country in 2002 urged that Native resumed in 2004. Since then, growth in career and corridors is supported.
The company Kronos, entrusted with the official timings evidence streets in numbers reflected this reality by taking as a starting point in 2006. Was then eight rounds fought street. Last year he ran 22.
numbers also show steady growth, except in 2009, and an explosion last year, which took 22% more than women (increased from 6,622 in 2009 to 8,057 in 2010) and 15% more men (22591-26025).
Paul Sanmartino, Athletic Confederation president of Uruguay (CAU) last year, explained the phenomenon to The Observer: "In these races grew advertising, there was a big gamble for companies to improve conditions for them and people have noticed two things: that this is an ideal way to improve health and that athletics is one of the best environments for sports. "
Juan Paseggi, one of the managers of Kronos, gave his view: "All invited about these events. Health, professional career, the panel meeting, the low cost required to practice this sport and even the geography of our city. "
Kronos, born in 2003, implemented since 2007, the system chip-making time, another attraction for the participants. "With the chips are controlled and arrivals starts avoiding you reach the target people who have not left the starting point. Moreover, the results are given on the day of competition. When we did it by hand, sometimes we take one day to process everything, "he told The Observer.
Last year, Kronos has signed an agreement with the CAU through which all timed tests.

Kronos and CAU will implement this year a ranking for All riders who participate in the tests that these two companies organized in the year. "The idea began to develop with Ricardo Vera 10k Championship was last year," he said Paseggi.

the summer, the CAU summer hosted the tournament (Copa Omar Cloke) with the San Fernando, Las Cañas, San Antonio and Running Maroñas, the only one yet to be disputed.
"We already have 9,035 runners ranking with all those races held, but the idea there is set a cap of six or eight races in which each athlete has their best times to score and that as time passes and new careers dispute go replacing your records. It is a system similar to ATP in tennis, "forward Paseggi.
"The idea with this is that, for example, office co-workers compare their rankings. We intend to do so beyond over elite athletes, "he added.

Another novelty with which they start the year on street races, is the 5-k test female Nike organize next Saturday.

Visiting Uruguay Note: The report does not consider the careers that are not co-organized by the Athletic Federation of Uruguay and Kronos recorded only as part of the National Athletic reality. Similarly, the figures are extrapolated to the extent that most of the powers referred to in the article are the "massive" where athletes attend the various teams. What is not understandable is the accumulation of participants in some charts as if they were different athletes.
