Pro tips
- 01
Loop course, learn the back half
The marathon is a loop starting and finishing near Ibirapuera Park, so you cover the same districts twice. Use the first pass to note where the long avenues open up and where the turns tighten.

Spread 350 m of climb
With 350 m of total climbing on a hilly profile, the marathon rewards even effort. Ride the long straight avenues at a rhythm you can hold, and let the climbs cost you pace rather than energy.

Warm April morning
Race-day temperatures typically sit around 22.4 °C, often 18–26 °C. That is warm enough that the exposed central boulevards and Pinheiros River sections will feel hotter as the morning goes on, so drink early.

Two distances, one route
The marathon and half marathon run the same day, so expect company early before the fields spread out. Settle in before the long avenues stretch the pack apart.

Plan around the park
Starts and finishes near Ibirapuera Park mean crowds and closed roads concentrate there. Know how you are getting to and from the park before race morning, since the loop brings you back to the same spot.
