WTR Nova Lima

About the Event

My apologies—I misunderstood your last request. I thought you wanted the entire response converted into a prose format using only paragraph tags. I see now that you still want those structured tables included alongside the descriptions.

The WTR Nova Lima is scheduled for April 18 and 19, 2026, in Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This event marks the third edition of the World Trail Races (WTR) league in this historic mining town, returning to explore the technical trails and rugged terrain of the Jardim Canadá region. Nova Lima is one of the wealthiest municipalities in Brazil, with a high GDP per capita driven by iron ore mining and a booming technology and service sector. Situated in a transition zone between the Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna), the city's unique geography provides an exceptional mountain environment for trail running and mountain biking.

The WTR Arena, located at Praça Quatro Elementos (Av. Quebec, 1450), serves as the social heart of the event. It offers a complete environment for athletes and spectators, including live music, a food park, the WTR Store, and dedicated kids' areas. For participant recovery, the arena provides free massages and cryotherapy treatments. As a WTR 7.5k step in the league, this race is critical for athletes looking to secure high-value points in the official WTR Trail Run and Mountain Bike rankings.

The Jardim Canadá district is a famous culinary and craft beer hub just outside of Belo Horizonte, making it a highly accessible and popular location for regional tourism. Athletes participating in the Long Trail or Pro MTB distances should carefully check the mandatory equipment lists in the official regulations.
