Race guide

Official date status

Curitiba Marathon is listed for November 15, 2026. This date refers to the race represented in this guide; other distances and expo activities may run on different days.

Official date information checked on 2026-10-18. This check covers the date status, not entry availability or final race operations.

Curitiba’s early start and Oscar Niemeyer Museum collection

The early starting time makes collection on a previous day important. Plan the museum visit separately from race morning and confirm the documents needed for your own bib or any authorized collection. The expo venue is not the same as the starting square, so save both locations and their access instructions.

The published wave order places supported categories first, then elite and general full- and half-marathon runners, followed by the shorter distances. Follow the group assigned to your entry rather than moving forward to avoid a queue. Confirm the final wave timetable and how the six-hour timing closure applies to your category before estimating the available finish window.

The organizer lists water roughly every three kilometres, but sports drink and fruit are available at fewer full-marathon stations. Do not assume every water point supplies the same products. Review the final station map and carry familiar items where the planned offerings do not match what you have practised using.

Entry is advertised until October 31, 2026 or capacity, whichever comes first. Check actual availability and your confirmation rather than relying on an open-registration banner. The kit options differ in merchandise, while the core bib and timing entry are the practical essentials; review the chosen package before payment. The website also discusses elite and accessibility categories whose rules differ from general entry, so read the applicable section rather than assuming every requirement applies to every runner. Allow time for the pre-dawn journey, baggage and toilets, and give companions a clear finish meeting point. Use the confirmed November 2026 date for this race instead of shifting it to an assumed 2027 weekend.
