DESAFIO DA COVA DA ONÇA 2026

On December 20, 2026, the inaugural I Desafio da Cova da Onça will take place in Curado III, Jaboatão/PE. Runners can choose between two distances: a scenic 5 km route and a more challenging 10 km course. Both races start at 6:00 AM from Praça Ecológica on Avenida Antônio Jacome Bezerra.
The event offers participants an opportunity to explore the picturesque surroundings of Curado III, with its lush greenery and vibrant local community atmosphere. The race is open to runners aged 16 years or older; those under 18 must have written authorization from a parent or guardian.
Registration closes on December 15, 2026, or when the limit of 300 participants is reached, whichever comes first. Online registration requires filling out an entry form and making payment via credit card or bank slip. Participants can also register at the event if spots are still available.
The race has a strict time limit of two hours and fifty minutes for all competitors to complete their respective distances. Runners who do not meet this deadline may be asked to withdraw from the competition for safety reasons.
