Paraty Brazil by UTMB
Paraty Brazil by UTMB is listed from Thursday 17 September 2026 at Paraty, the colonial town on the coast between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, a UTMB World Series event with 20K, 50K and 100K distances.
The courses run through the Serra da Bocaina and along the Atlantic forest coast, so the terrain is humid, steep and green rather than alpine, and September is the end of the dry season, which is the reason for the date. Running Stones from Paraty count toward the UTMB finals in Chamonix.
Paraty is about four hours by road from Rio and five from São Paulo, with no airport of its own, and the town's cobbled historic centre is the race base. Registration and the course files are on paraty.utmb.world. The 100 Miles distance is not offered here; the 100K is the longest course.
