The São Paulo Winter race is a stage in the Circuito das Estações, a Brazilian street-running series featuring four seasonal events: Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. This Winter stage focuses on the circuit’s discipline theme, with the season framed around resilience and maintaining training through less favorable conditions. The overall circuit spans 21 Brazilian cities, from São Paulo to Manaus and Belém to Rio de Janeiro, and extends into Latin America, covering Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico.
The series has engaged over 2 million runners in two decades and is the world’s largest street-running circuit. A distinct tradition involves a four-medal set: participants completing all four seasonal races receive a mandala formed by combining the Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring medals. This positions the São Paulo Winter race as more than just a single event; it is part of a year-long challenge appealing to regular runners, collectors, and individuals using the seasonal structure for their training.
