Is there any chance that form is now available in English so I can apply for the race? If not what recommendations can you make for a non-Spanish speaker to apply for this running event?

For the race you will need to have a chip, also called Champion Chip. See below for what this is.
What is a Champion Chip?
A Champion Chip is a micro chip that each runner needs in order to be timed for how long they take to run the race. It is a miniature transponder in a specially designed housing, marked with a unique identification number. If you do not have your personal yellow chip, you need to purchase a white (sometimes black one) when you register. These chips are coded for one single race and cannot be used for any further race. You receive the white or black single use chip before starting the race when you pick up also the dorsal number.
For detailed information about the micro chips, what the different colours mean, how to use the chip, where to buy a yellow chip, information about the chip code and much more please visit the official website of Champion Chip by clicking on the following link:
Barcelona Sant Silvestre Running Race Champion Chips. What are they and where to find them
Make sure to choose the right chip option when you make your application. If you own a yellow chip, you only pay €6.00 for the application. In that case you need to give the 7-digits-code of your yellow chip when registering. In case you do not have a yellow chip, you will need to pay an additional €2.00 for the white (sometimes black) chip that you'll receive.
