From September 23 to 26, 2027, runners will explore the Atlantic Forest, the Serra da Bocaina, and the cobblestone streets of Paraty’s historic center.
Registration opens in two stages. On October 26 and 27, early access is reserved for runners with a valid UTMB Index in any category. General registration opens October 28 at 10 a.m. Brasília time.

A 2026 edition to remember
A total of 3,339 runners took to Paraty’s trails and streets. Among the highlights was the debut of PTR 17, which welcomed more than 500 runners in its first edition.
“Seeing more than 500 people at the start of the 17 km race in its very first edition showed us that a new generation is eager to discover trail running. We can feel that energy in Paraty, and we want to make even more room for it,” says Rafael Miranda, General Director of Paraty Brazil by UTMB.
NIGHT 10: Paraty after dark
The success of PTR 17 inspired the biggest addition for 2027. PTR 17 stays on the program and welcomes a new companion: NIGHT 10, a 10 km race with 270 m of elevation gain. Starting at Fazenda Bananal on September 25 at 7 p.m., it finishes in the historic center. The time limit is three hours, and a headlamp is mandatory.
NIGHT 10 offers another option for runners who prefer shorter distances and want to experience a night race. Runners should consider their preparation for the terrain and navigating after dark. A headlamp is part of the mandatory gear.
“NIGHT 10 offers a new way to experience Paraty: leaving Fazenda Bananal as night falls and finishing in the historic center. We want to give runners who prefer shorter distances more options, with the care and preparation a night race requires,” says Rafael Miranda.
