Meia Maratona de Goiânia

The Goiânia Half Marathon is a street race in Goiânia, Brazil, held in conjunction with the capital city’s anniversary. Participants can select from 5 km, 10 km, 16 km, or the half marathon of 21 km. This setup accommodates beginners seeking a shorter run and experienced runners aiming for the main distance. The longer races commence early in the morning, followed by the 10 km and then the 5 km. It is the largest street race in Goiás and a significant event in Brazil’s Center-West region. The race attracts both amateur and professional athletes. Hydration stations are available along the course, with real-time results, medical assistance, and age-group awards presented post-race. The Goiana Athletics Federation has sanctioned the event, and race kits are distributed in the days preceding race morning. The event's local significance is emphasized: it is more than just a half marathon with auxiliary distances; it is a citywide event centered on running, fitness, and Goiânia’s birthday.
