The Rio Marathon showcases the city's iconic coastal beauty, starting in Botafogo and weaving through neighborhoods including Leblon, Ipanema, and Copacabana. Runners experience a mix of beachfront promenades, mountain vistas of Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer, and urban streets with moderate rolling hills. The course returns to the stunning Botafogo waterfront for a scenic finish.
Early winter in Rio brings pleasant temperatures with moderate humidity and occasional rain. Coastal breezes help manage heat, though sun exposure can be intense with limited shade on beachfront sections.
The Race
Rio de Janeiro
The Rio de Janeiro Marathon was founded in 1987, during the golden age of mass-participation running. Now 39 years old, it has established itself as a beloved fixture in Rio de Janeiro, growing from its early editions into a race with genuine character and loyal following.
The course record of 02:09:47, set by Juanjo García in 2013, speaks to what the Rio de Janeiro Marathon offers elite athletes: a fast, honest course where serious times are achievable. The record has drawn increasingly competitive fields year after year.
The Rio de Janeiro Marathon route is one of those courses where runners forget their pace and reach for their phones. The scenery through Rio de Janeiro and its surroundings has earned this race a reputation as one of the most photogenic in South America.
