Track & Field Run Series - Colinas Shopping

The Santander Track&Field Run Series Colinas Shopping 2026 is a premier street racing event set to take place on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in São José dos Campos, São Paulo. Part of the largest running circuit in Latin America, which engages over 200,000 participants annually, this stage offers a high-performance urban experience centered around the Colinas Shopping hub. The event is designed for all levels, featuring three distinct adult distances and a dedicated kids' program, emphasizing personal milestones and community inspiration over pure competition.

Race Logistics and Athlete Benefits

The logistics for the Colinas Shopping stage are highly streamlined to accommodate early starts. Kit pickup is mandatory and held at the Track&Field store within the shopping center from April 23 to April 25. On race day, the parking facility opens at 4:30 AM with a special flat rate of R$ 9,00 for registered athletes until 10:30 AM. For 2026, a new incentive policy grants podium finishers a complimentary entry for a future Run Series stage within the same year. All registration kits include exclusive TFSports items, and finishers are awarded a collectible medal. Credentialing for arena activations is managed via the TFSports App using a personal token and the athlete’s bib number.

Regional and Community Context

São José dos Campos is a major technological and industrial hub in the Paraíba Valley, located between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The Colinas Shopping area, situated in the Jardim das Colinas district, is one of the city's most upscale and accessible neighborhoods. The race route utilizes the wide, well-paved avenues surrounding the mall, such as Avenida São João, providing a fast and safe urban circuit that is highly popular with local "Joseenses" and runners from across the state.

The culture of the Track&Field Run Series is one of wellness and social connectivity. In São José dos Campos, this is reflected in the event's vibrant post-race arena, which features musical performances and recovery activations from 8:10 AM onwards. The inclusion of the Kids Run—divided into age-appropriate heats—highlights the event's commitment to fostering a healthy lifestyle for the next generation. By combining a professional racing environment with the convenience of a premium shopping destination, the Colinas Shopping stage bridges the gap between high-level athletics and everyday urban lifestyle, making it a standout event in the 2026 Brazilian running calendar.
