The race
The Maratona do Rio turns 25 in 2027. With several distances over the weekend, a runner can race more than once on the same trip.
Rio de Janeiro
Rio is a city you run through and then stay in. Copacabana, where the hotel is, has the beach promenade that makes an easy recovery walk. Ipanema and Leblon are a short ride along the same coast, and Sugarloaf and Corcovado are the two views everyone plans around.
Late May is the start of the dry season, so an early start works in your favor. The holiday weekend means a busy city, and booking restaurants ahead helps.
Plan your trip
- Dates: May 27 to 30, 2027, Thursday to Sunday, over the Corpus Christi holiday. Each distance runs on its own day, and the organizer publishes the schedule.
- Local currency: BRL, Brazilian real. Cards are widely accepted. Carry a little cash for beach kiosks and street vendors.
Sales status: Coming soon (early-bird list open).
