About This Race
The 25K represents the longest single-loop option at Paraty Brazil by UTMB, offering runners a comprehensive tour of the Atlantic Forest's diverse terrain without the multi-loop demands of the longer distances. This distance provides an ideal introduction to technical trail running in Brazil's coastal mountains, challenging runners with sustained climbs through dense canopy and technical descents while remaining achievable for those stepping up from road racing or shorter trail events. The course allows runners to experience the full character of Paraty's trails—from humid forest sections to exposed ridgelines—while maintaining a manageable time commitment that lets them enjoy the historic town's evening atmosphere.
