Words from those who lived it:
Mahira Braga – 2nd Place, 34km (2025)
“The checkpoints are always incredibly well stocked. I remember putting ice in my cap because of the heat. Everything was fully replenished, and the support is excellent.
It’s a fast race and a great opportunity for those looking to improve their ITRA ranking.
The start in the historic town center is truly special, and so is the finish, with spectators lining the canal. The course combines runnable sections with steep climbs that demand focus and control.
This is real Atlantic Forest — roots, technical terrain, and constant dynamism.”
