Nonoai is situated in the Upper Uruguay River valley, an area known for its dramatic relief and lush subtropical vegetation. The geography of the race course involves significant elevation changes as it traverses the valleys and plateaus overlooking the river, providing runners with technical sections through native forests and rural landscapes. In mid-April, the southern Brazilian climate transition toward autumn typically brings average temperatures ranging from 14°C (57°F) to 24°C (75°F). Mornings are often characterized by mist rising from the Uruguay River valley, which creates humid trail conditions but offers cooler temperatures for the start of the longer distance categories.
The event offers extensive amenities for athletes and their families, including a dedicated athlete kit containing the official event t-shirt and timing chips. A communal lunch is organized for participants, with reservations available via the official event portal to foster a post-race social atmosphere. Support services include multiple hydration points along the routes, a medical station, and professional photography services to capture the experience. For those traveling from outside the region, the organizers provide a list of recommended local hotels and logistical support through a dedicated WhatsApp community. Final registration is tiered by batches, and all competitors are required to review the technical regulations regarding safety and environmental conduct within the valley.
