III Corrida Sauim-de-Coleira

Corrida Sauim-de-Coleira is a 5 km and 10 km road race in Manaus, located at the Escola Superior de Tecnologia EST/UEA. Registration is open from July to October, with distinct fees for the university community and the general public. UEA, in partnership with Mente de Corredor, organizes the race, which connects running with the health, education, and conservation of the sauim-de-coleira, an endangered Amazon primate. The race employs a straightforward short-distance format, accommodating both runners aiming for a quick time and participants motivated by the cause. Participants receive a kit including a t-shirt and medal, with cash prizes for top finishers. Its most notable aspect is the conservation message: the event gathers athletes, students, staff, and environmentally conscious runners to support a species native to the Amazon that requires public awareness.
