The WLF Ultra Trail 2026 is an ultramarathon trail event scheduled for Sunday, April 26, 2026, in the village of Santa Marta within Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil. The race is designed to accommodate various experience levels, offering distances of 5km, 10km, 21km, and a premier 50km ultramarathon. Set at an elevation of approximately 1,200 meters, the course features a distinctive mix of humid, sub-humid, and arid microclimates characteristic of the regional Caatinga vegetation. Organized by Wesley Costa, the event focuses on high-altitude endurance and provides substantial support for long-distance athletes, including fruit-based nutrition stations and a comprehensive dry-fit gear kit.

Vitória da Conquista is the third-largest city in the state of Bahia, Brazil, with a population of approximately 341,000 residents. The demographic composition of the city is predominantly Pardo (mixed-race) at 61.2%, followed by White at 28.3%, Black at 9.6%, and Asian at 0.8%. The city is known as the "Suíça Baiana" (Bahian Switzerland) due to its relatively cool climate compared to the rest of the state. The median annual household income in the region is roughly R$ 22,000. Geographically, the area sits atop the Planalto da Conquista, a high plateau that creates a unique environmental bridge between the Atlantic Forest and the semi-arid Sertão. In late April, runners can expect daytime highs of 25°C (77°F) with early morning race starts significantly cooler, often dropping to 14°C (57°F).
The race logistics are managed through a tiered registration system, with fees increasing after the first 100 participants. The 50km ultramarathon includes a dedicated wheelchair category and age brackets that extend to 50+, while the 10km and 21km courses feature more granular age divisions up to 70+. Winners in the overall classifications for all distances receive podium trophies for the top five male and female finishers. Kit delivery is coordinated at the Boulevard Shopping Vitória da Conquista, which serves as a major commercial hub for the region. Participants are required to use the provided timing chips and must display their race bibs prominently to be eligible for finisher medals and digital certificates.
