The race at a glance

Route and elevation

Yescom confirms April 4, 2027 for the São Paulo marathon, with its arena by the Ibirapuera Obelisk. The April 3 Corrida das Nações 5K uses Campo de Marte, so the two days have different venues.

  • The full marathon is the 42K category on April 4.
  • The marathon collection programme runs April 1–3 at Oca in Ibirapuera Park.
  • General marathon waves are listed from 05:45 through 06:15.

Race guide

São Paulo’s full marathon is April 4, separate from the Saturday 5K

The 5K’s Saturday location and 07:00 start do not describe the Sunday marathon. If entering the combination, plan both journeys separately and check the rules for collecting the correct numbers. Do not navigate to Campo de Marte on marathon morning simply because it appears first on the event page.

The full-marathon wave depends on category and expected finishing time. Use your assigned wave and the latest instructions instead of treating the elite start as a universal time. Check how long it takes to reach the permitted entrance after arriving near the park, and allow time for toilets and baggage.

The published course controls include intermediate deadlines as well as the finish. Compare the complete current cutoff table with a realistic plan that includes aid stops. A predicted finish inside the overall allowance does not automatically mean every earlier checkpoint will be reached before it closes.

The page contains a baggage-collection deadline that appears inconsistent with its later marathon course controls. Ask the organizer to confirm the applicable full-marathon baggage deadline before relying on it. Keep valuables out of the optional baggage service according to the published rules, and arrange a post-race meeting point that remains accessible during closures. Review the final route and station spacing, then practice with familiar supplies rather than improvising on race day. The event includes 21K, 14K and 7K categories alongside the marathon, so check that every map, wave and support instruction applies to your entry. The April 4 date is supported by the named 2027 programme, while operational details can still be updated. Recheck the official regulations, collection hours and assigned start instructions before departure and follow any race-week changes sent to registered participants.
