Words from those who lived it:
Tadna Dias – 6th Place, 25km (2025)
“What stands out to me most about Paraty is the atmosphere of the arena and the event itself. If you arrive early, you can feel the community breathing the same passion for trail running.
The start is beautiful. Throughout the race, the course is diverse: an initial stretch on asphalt, then trails, dirt roads, single track, and even a river crossing. It’s not overly technical, which makes it ideal for those starting in trail running or looking to step up in distance.
It’s a joyful race to run — one I always recommend to anyone wanting to experience their first great moment in trail.”
