About This Race
The 58K strikes the optimal balance between ultra-distance challenge and accessibility, serving as the event's premier middle-distance option for runners ready to tackle serious elevation gain without committing to the 108K's full mountain traverse. This distance demands sustained endurance through the Atlantic Forest's technical terrain while remaining manageable for experienced trail runners looking to step up from marathon distances or ultra veterans seeking a strong training race. The course provides ample time to appreciate the forest's intricate ecosystem and wildlife encounters that shorter distances rush past, making it ideal for runners who want both physical challenge and immersive natural experience.
