ULTRAMARATONA PEIXE BOI

Embark on an extraordinary endurance journey with the Ultramaratona do Peixe-Boi 2027, scheduled for March 6, 2027. This unique race invites runners to push their limits and immerse themselves in the breathtaking natural beauty of northeastern Brazil’s coastal landscapes. Participants will traverse a mix of highways and dirt roads, culminating at Barra de Mamanguape Beach within the Marine Manatee Reserve.
The event offers two distances: 50 kilometers starting from Lucena's entrance on BR-230/PB-025 with a finish line at Barra de Mamanguape, and 25 kilometers beginning near Oiteiro de Miranda Settlement. Both routes showcase stunning rural scenery as runners navigate through lush vegetation and open plains.
Competitors can choose to run solo or in teams of two (each covering half the distance) or five members for relay-style races over 25km segments. Solo participants must arrange support vehicles throughout their route, while team categories ensure a seamless handover system without simultaneous running by teammates.
The race day starts early with morning departures: at 5 AM for the longer course and 6 AM for the shorter one. Runners are advised to arrive an hour before the start of the 50km event and half an hour prior to the 25km run. The cutoff times are set at eight hours for the full distance and four hours and thirty minutes for the half, with all finishers receiving participation medals.
Join this unforgettable adventure that combines physical challenge with a profound connection to nature’s splendor on March 6, 2027.
