However, not all runners received a medal from the 100th São Silvestre: some participants found that medals had run out after completing the 15km course on Avenida Paulista – a situation that should not have occurred, as there should have been medals for all registered finishers.
The event organizers, Fundação Cásper Líbero (owner) and Vega Sports (contracted company), are investigating the issue. Additionally, some runners in the back of the pack reported a lack of water at certain points along the course.

On Tuesday, December 30th, race shirts were also unavailable at the São Silvestre Expo. “Organizers assure that all registered participants who did not receive a shirt will receive one throughout January – after contact to confirm shipping details,” they stated on December 30th.
