Cycling & running events in Campinas, 2026

Campinas Training Notes

Running: Locals run Campinas around Lagoa do Taquaral Park and Bosque dos Jequitibás, then use Taquaral for steady Z2 and easy meetups. Campinas Group Running Meetup has 49 members, and The Game Running gets people together in Taquaral every Tuesday at 7 PM. They meet at the kart track and start from there. MTRunnerss meets every Thursday at 7 PM at gate 1. Rosana Merino coaches three times a week at Taquaral, including Sundays. CLT 10K gives you 10.53 km with 19 m of gain, while 2a 24 hrs goes long at 101.23 km with 1,435 m of gain. Corrida Integração and the Meia Maratona de Campinas are the anchor names.

Cycling: Locals ride Campinas by pointing the bike out of the dense city and choosing the day’s direction. Paulínia, Jaguariúna and Pedreira sit north for base miles, while Itupeva, Indaiatuba and Monte Mor sit south when the group wants a longer pull. Morungaba, Itatiba and Valinhos sit east, and that side is where the climbing talk starts. Hortolândia sits west for flatter work. The brief names no dedicated cycling club or cycling route, so riders should treat the listed Associação Atlética Ponte Preta, Guarani Futebol Clube, Red Bull Brasil, and Mogiana Sports Club as the local sports backdrop, not a crit squad. Campeonato Brasileiro Sprint Indaiatuba and MEIA MARATONA RIO TIETE - PASSEIO CICLISTICO PRIMAVERA are the anchor dates to watch.

Season: Campinas trains best in the dry, mild stretch, especially July, August and September. July averages 17.8°C, and those warm winter days can still climb past 30°C, so runners and riders keep bottles honest. August is the driest month, with 22.9 mm of rain, and that makes intervals, gran fondo prep and longer Z2 cleaner to schedule. Summer changes the rhythm. January brings 280.3 mm of rain, and February averages 24°C with a 29.1°C average maximum, so locals go earlier, keep the pace chill, and let Taquaral or the road out toward the towns carry the work.
